That works, but I'm impatient.

VICIdial has *lots* of knobs. I'm mainly interested in "consistency" in configuration. The "method" has to be sophisticated enough to handle "this box has 2 Ethernet interfaces so I should configure OpenSER and Asterisk to listen to both IP addresses on ports 5060 and 5061 respectively." This would preclude rsync. I currently do it with shell scripts but I'm looking for something a bit more sophisticated. Puppet (http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppet/wiki/AboutPuppet) was suggested during the Friday morning VOIP Users Conference. It's open source and written in Ruby. I just feel a bit silly installing "yet another language" just to support a support tool. The "shell script" approach has the advantage of "light weight." I do a "minimal" Centos 5 install and wget a single script which does everything -- configures the network, installs packages (OpenSER, Asterisk, Zaptel, Libpri, MySQL), adds users, and configures everything from services to timezone. I may stick with it, but it's getting a bit combersome and am interested in what has worked for others.
