If you're willing to run Ubuntu 8.10 right now for all 20 nodes, 'moonshine' from RailsMachine works really well! It can automatically build out a full stack (Apache, Passenger, MySQL, etc) on systems that have yet to have been installed (and then continue to maintain and upgrade them). Rails Machine Projects - Moonshine, Rails Machine Gem, Shadow Puppet It should work with other distros (and other versions of Ubuntu), but will require some retrofitting. I've used this tool on a few linode instances so far, and have been very pleased (although I'm still learning to use it). -Kevin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
