Part of our prisons project will be to set up centers with several
servers and about 20 client machines each, in various locations. I'm on
a steep learning curve here. I'm using Project Wonderland (Java) and
picking up pieces here and there (jdk, jetty, or possibly Tomcat, etc.)
when the edges don't match, needs a solution like cfengine. But, it
bombed out with the "Danger! Will Robinson" test from the get-go.
<sighs> That install example was written for Suse. So much for that one.
Starting over again. Ric
