If you're willing to spend a considerable chunk of money, there are commercial products that will help you with this from Linuxcare and BMC. If not, then things get quite a bit harder.
Mark Post -----Original Message----- From: Phil Hodgson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 6:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: maintenance strategy Has anyone any thoughts (sensible or otherwise) about keeping a penguin colony up to date with it's software? We have a SuSE base system from which we cut all new systems. I try to keep the base system up to date. The problems come when a) we have to roll out a fix to all our systems. I don't want to log on to all of them in turn. b) we want to install a new piece of software that is not on the base system and the version on the delivery CD images may (or may not) have been superseded with new maintenance.
