Re: Deploying multiple projects/applications

Thanks for your opinion!  I do appreciate it as I am doing research on
supporting a dozen or so Linux servers setup as a web farm.  Outside
consultants are recommending Zenworks, but I tend to think this is
something that the OSS world has resolved.  Will look more into
cfengine/puppet and see if I can figure that tool out to meet this
need.

Take care!
