One popular standard method is:
+ LDAP initial boot a box from Kickstart or equivalent deploying an
appropriate basic OS image + Ensure the post-image-install script includes a
puppet agent package and changes to let the box talk with a known puppet master
and autostart the puppet agent at system boot + Write more and more and
more Puppet patterns to customize the system for given uses NFS server,
Database server, Mail server, Compute Server, etc. + Ensure no
"touch-the-cloud" ideas ever appear in non-Puppet form. Nobody as superuser on
boxes...
The point is to move more of the OS config and continuous drift-prevention into
puppet patterns which run 7x24 duringproduction or permit manual-only
operation with post-mortem data capture (lsof, ps, top, sar, etc.) for security
analysis, logging all changes either way to an audit trail to find out why
change is happening, when, and to trace it down to root cause (busy/corrupted
fingers, security compromises, phase-of-moon, gamma-rays, etc.)
Further, your "glove boxes" become puppet-applied patterns which must go
through a repository-sourced-and-dr'eddev/test/limited-prod/extended-prod.
Additionals?

Rastio, I dont think that puppet do operating system installation. Puppet is
configuration management tool, you can use puppet to configure any software and
operating system settings after puppet get install on your machine.For
automatic installation of operating system there is tools called kickstart,
cobler, etc.
Refer following blog link about puppet and operating system installation
relation,http://puppetlabs.com/blog/your-os-installer-and-you

Puppet on it. I would then use this USB stick on a blank computer to boot to it
and install new OS (Ubuntu+WhateverIWant) on that blank computer. I know I can
do WhateverIWant part, but can I install actual OS?
Thanks.
