Al Tobey and I have been working on a Web UI for Cobbler.
https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/cobbler/wiki/CobblerWebUi
in the wiki page the URL to access the webui is reported as:
https://bootserver.example.com/cgi-bin/cobbler/webui.cgi
although on my system the correct URL seems to be:
https://bootserver.example.com/cgi-bin/cobbler_webui.cgi

You'll see you are able to add cobbler objects (Distros, Profiles,
Repos, and Systems) through the WebUI, edit existing ones, as well as
run a "cobbler sync". There's the equivalent of a "cobbler list" in
there also -- to see all that you have configured. Each field has
comments below it saying what the field is for, frequently with
examples. Where it a field has limited valid values, we're using radio
boxes, selects, and so forth. So, we hope you find it easy to use.
Suggestions are welcome, as I can see
that we'll probably be adding to it some over time.
A few known issues:
-- If your login times out (30 minutes of no activity), and you
can't log back in, try deleting your cookies from the boot server.
Should be resolved soon.
-- Kickstart template editing through the Web UI isn't there yet.
We're working on that.

Everything looks excellent so far. So much so I feel that I can start
handing this off to other admins in my group to assist with provisioning
systems in our lab.
after a quick checkout the only request i have would be if one could
sort by Hostname in the system_list UI. We name our systems based on
MAC address as well, so having the MAC field is redundant in our
environment. Not sure about other folks though.
once i had this off if i get any comments/suggests i'll be sure to let
you all know. we'll be adding new systems and modifying existing
systems so hopefully we can help out with the debugging.
Other than that this looks awesome, thanks Al and Michael!! I'll owe
both of you at least a beer if we ever meet up :)
