Thanks Chris I'll take a look at PuppetBoard when the time comes, though I don't remember it being particularly difficult to install. However I still need to get PuppetDB installed first and that's where I'm stuck. I'm working on something else right now, but will come back to this later. It'd be really good if the instructions on the site could be altered so that they are applicable for the 'general public'.
