Speaking like a true admin ;) From my point of view as advanced-user-and-admin-of-my-own-machines this looks like a really nice project... at least for setting up some services and getting them working fast and then learning how they work by looking at config files. I know, I know that should be reversed... but there is nothing more rewarding and further stimulation for learning than when something "JustWorks"tm. If I try something and fail misserably I tend to put it down - and usually don't pick it up again. But if something "JustWorks"tm I get positive stimulus to continue hacking on it ;) Just my 2c. ps. Still this could be really usefull tool even for "real" admins that know how to thinks by hand but have hundreds of boxes on which then need to change one simple thing... this would same them lots of time... -- http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/ linux, blog, anime, spirituality, windsurf, wireless registered as user #367004 with the Linux Counter, http://counter.li.org.
