RE: Pool administration
i've posted on this in the past, there is an open-source project that is
very good, can't remember the name really.
Maybe someone on the list does ?
Greetings,

This is of interest to me as well.
We have set up a couple of laboratories, and maintain their setup by
configuring one machine, then uploading a tar images of the bits of it to a
server, and downloading the image to all the other machines. I have modified
a
Debian rescue disk, so that only two floppy disks are needed to boot the
target
machine and link it to the server for the download. After the download a few
files are semi-automatically tweaked.
While this system works, it is not very tidy, and a better one would be
appreciated.
