If something is used heavily in GNU/Linux, like by SuSE and others, but also outside of GNU/Linux, like by other UNIX vendors, even network vendors like Cisco, heavily GNU/Linux users like Microsoft, and yet others ... it's ... no longer viable? I don't understand. It must remain GNU/Linux-only to be a valid LPI topic?! I guess we should remove a lot of AT&T and BSD history then? > Or is Red Hat going to acquire LPI? ;-) > Huh?! Now you're going the other way and saying Ansible is Fedora (Red Hat) world-only?! I don't understand. And if we're going to limit things to not from Red Hat, or IBM-Red Hat for that matter, then you might as well drop all major distributions. I.e., there are plenty of distros where there is more IBM-Red Hat and Novell-SuSE copyrighted code, than the distribution entity itself that produces the distro. So I'm really at a loss here. I don't understand this point at all. Ansible is a SSH-based 'go do it' system automation solution that uses YAML-centric playbooks made up of roles. - bjs P.S. If you know anything about Michael DeHaan, he's spent most of his career making code for many GNU/Linux distributions, not just the Fedora world-only. -- Bryan J Smith - http://www.linkedin.com/in/bjsmith E-mail: b.j.smith at ieee.org or me at bjsmith.me
