O.K., i probably have to check it out. For FAI, somebody documeted an approach for configfile-templating in the Wiki - basically, templating in FAI is possible with everything from sed to special Text templating systems. > I'm not entirely sure that you'd be able to achieve the flexibility of chef > with FAI's softupdates, although my knowledge of softupdates is fairly > limited I'm afraid. If you have any additional reading, feel free to send it > my way :) Softupdate is basically running fai package installation and scripts on a running/installed system - the install without the partitioning and base deploy. So, it's also extremely flexible - which might be good or bad depending on what you want to do or like. In other terms:FAI scripts don't have much straucture or knowledge of each other, as puppet knows about all resources in a central place. Henning
