I've attempted a setup in the past, maybe 2 years ago now. The installation was pretty quick. Just added their repo, and did some yum installs. However, once I was "up and running" and I never could quite figure out how to get from I have a new spacewalk server up to actually having the channels and what-have-you all setup right to where it actually works. I'll give this another shot, it sounds like it could be helpful.
Thanks!
