They serve different functions. The satellite server is used for centrally deploying software updates; kickstart is used for doing automated installations. > And up2date?

It was up2date up through RHEL4, then they switched to yum, which is a much more capable package manager. It's a bit like Solaris's switch to IPS, except that the underlying package format stayed the same and only the management tool changed. Frankly, up2date was a bit of a pain and I wasn't sad to see it go. yum is a lot more flexible. -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
