Re: [Puppet Users] Puppet 101: How to make it go?

Thanks, Morgan! No, I had not thought to look under puppet 4.3 to find puppet 3.8 docs :-P I have been working through the learning VM, and it has a GUI and has you install graphite. Do those things exist with open-source puppet? Once I get going, it's very possible that we'll want to go
