Re: Current best practices for system configuration management?

Hi all, Sorry to resurrect an old-ish thread, but I am facing the exact same task, minus the know-how. Basically I am looking to pre-configure a number of Debian setups - let's say, "server", "laptop" and "PC" - that would contain sets of packages to install (or uninstall), configuration files (
