Howdy,
Two time short suggestions might be Kickstart/anacoda (Redhat based) and
AutoYast (OpenSuse based) for auto pre-configured installs.
Then management, I am not sure on?
Cheers,
Michael Manning

Dear list,
In addition to looking for virtual machine host software, I'd like to hear
about your favourite way of managing multiple (ie: 2 or more) hosts in a
collection.
In my specific case, I want to be able to take a bare bones (Insert
Distribution Here) install and automagically configure it to:
- be running avahi (the mdns part at least),
- have MySQL 5 (or PostgreSQL, or whatever) installed,
- have my custom /etc/resolv.conf,
- configure the avahi to advertise SSH, other services
- install some documentation from a web site, and
- install and configure a firewall
Some ideas I've seen are:
- Cluster SSH (http://sourceforge.net/projects/clusterssh/) *
- Puppet (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/)
- Chef (http://wiki.opscode.com/display/chef/Home)
Thanks in advance,
Alex
* Cluster SSH gives me a cold sweat. It just replicates keystrokes to
multiple terminals. How could anything possibly go wrong?
