I would like to point out though that oneSIS operates at the filesystem level (files/directories, not VFS) and is completely oblivious to anything that is actually running on the machine. I configuration engine such as LCFG could peacefully coexist and from the sounds of it even complement the functionality provided by oneSIS. Instead of modifying the configs of remote files, it would simply be modifying the different variations of a file in the master image (ie: /etc/fstab.myclass). That way you could have the functionality provided by LCFG alongside the flexibility of using oneSIS. "Stateless" to me indirectly implies bit-for-bit identicality of the root filesystem. The ability is there to deploy a diskful node and diverge from the master image, but doing so, in my experience, only tends to complicate rather than simplify. -JE
