I saw this announcement today on Twitter, very nice! It will be interesting to see how much of this overlaps with the functionality I was planning on adding, which really was more about using cobbler to package images (similar to what veewee does actually) and to deploy them into IaaS platforms like Eucalytpus. Congratulations on the code release, and I hope it takes off :) _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
