:)Hello all-
:)      I am looking for some advice from all the linux veterans out there.
:)Over the next 1-2 months I have to put about 25 new linux servers out
:)into production and I am a little worried about the time that it is
:)going to take me. In the past I have done every install by hand, but
:)going through the damn install process to pick the packages takes as
:)long as it does to actually install the software. I have looked at
:)RedHat's Kickstart, but a fair number of the servers are DAC960 SCSI
:)RAID based, and if I understand the KS documentation correctly, it won't
:)work in these cases.
:)      So whats the secret to mass installs? I am standardizing on RH7.1 with
:)kernel 2.4.13, so I need to build an image with the new kernel and I
:)would like to keep the image to the lowest common denomenator. I have no
:)problem going through each box before deployment to make sure that any
:)box specific software/configurations are installed, so the less specific
:)the image the better I feel.
:)      I was thinking of doing a Norton Ghost setup, but the cash for the
:)Corporate version isn't exactly at hand right now, so I would like to
:)look at other (cheaper/free) alternatives.
:)
:)Thanks for the advice!
:)
:)Zack
