Hello,
After many weeks of hard work from my colleagues, we're glad to release
a sneak preview of the brand new Web-based configuration tool for
PacketFence.
This has been combined with our "PacketFence on an USB stick"
initiative. It's now very easy to simply boot the PacketFence "Live CD"
appliance on a USB stick (or CD), go over the Web-based configuration
and have a PacketFence PoC or deployment running in a matter of minutes!
Everything will be running of the USB key so no need to install anything
on existing laptops, servers or desktop computers to showcase or test
PacketFence.
Note that we're still continuing our work on the Web administrative
interface rewrite. It'll look much like the new Web-based configuration
tool and there will be soon no more CLI operations involved in the
management of PacketFence.
You can grab the USB image from:

If you are on Windows, you can grab the tool to write the image to a USB
key from:
http://inverse.ca/downloads/PacketFence/LiveCD/win32diskimager-binary.zip
Note that you require a USB key of 4GB or more to test it. For those who
prefer having a quick look without trying the "Live CD", here are some
screenshots of the new GUI:

This is currently all available from the feature/catalyst-configurator
branch on github, to be merged in devel.
As usual, testing and comments are welcome!
Thanks,
