I'm not against that. The question is how much I should say before I inherit the workload? I.e., I try not to push too much "hot air," and much of my donation is driven by the client. Right now the client has me on other priorities, and it's hard to do much GPL "on their dollar" (long story). I'll help all I can outside of the client hours, although I don't know if that's even remotely a dent, given my unfamiliarity with a lot of the solutions. Right now I only used s-c-n to do some "proof of concept" (PoC) discovery/testing, largely so I have something in the lab for testing (without having to install on systems). I'm switching more of my gears back to livecd-tools, and what I can add in %post and other areas to get things working. But I'll keep it all in-mind as I do it. > A major issue is that s-c-n doesn't scale to datacenter size deployments > when dealing with provisioning and integration with provisioning /is/ > going to be important, even if it's just making sure the right > kernel/initrd rolls out to the right networks and you're not doing > installations.

I also don't support the infrastructure. That's an even later consideration, and something I'll have about a 2% say on (again, don't get me started). My entire focus right now is getting a PoC going just for the thin + server. But, again, I'll really try to keep Cobbler/Koan in-mind as I do anything. -- Bryan J Smith - Senior Consultant - Red Hat GPS SE US mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 (407) 489-7013 (Mobile) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (non-RH/ext to Blackberry) ----------------------------------------------------- For every dollar you spend on Red Hat solutions, you not only fund the leading community development re- source, but you receive the #1 IT industry leader in corporate value. http://www.redhat.com/promo/vendor/ _______________________________________________ Stateless-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/stateless-list
