I've been waiting for at least a decade now for a Linux distribution to pick

It seems like the commercial distributions
(RHEL, SuSe, ??) all want to build their own GUI based management system from
scratch. I'm guessing this is part of their
attempt at "value-add" in order to convince people to buy even bigger support
contracts. For me it just means, they are no better then the free distributions
(Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu) in terms of real world support. I've rarely had to contact
vendor support for software, but I've had to install/reinstall systems
countless times where a by default CM would have been a big advantage.
Well, RH is starting to focus on Puppet, to integrate w/ their Satellite
replacement. They're integrating Foreman into Katello, which is the upstream
of CloudForms.
It'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
Oooh, does this mean they're getting rid of Satellite? As a current
Satellite user, I can't say I'm surprised. We've been wanting to get off
Satellite for years, but the amount of time and money we waste on
keeping it running have so far prevented us from making the migration.*
