I'd really like to see a day where a person could fire up kickstart-based upgrades on 200 cluster servers and have *everything* upgraded when the systems reboot (assuming all of their local apps were in an appropriate repository). FWIW, I was doing stuff like this with engineering workstations running HP-UX at a previous job 5 years ago using HP's Ignite-UX tool... It still scares me a little that we don't have a tool even that good yet. That employer is using a *ton* of RHL now, and upgrades are nearly unmanageable. Paying for RHEL would reduce the frequency of necessary upgrades, and the money isn't necessarily a problem for them, but how would they do all those upgrades? (In other words, I don't think this is just a problem for Fedora Core/Extras/etc. users.) Steve -- Steven Pritchard - K&S Pritchard Enterprises, Inc.
