Opsware

2008-01-04 Thread Bob Bomar
Does anyone use something similar to Opsware to assist in managing their 
servers?  I have roughly 15-20 servers, Solaris, Fedora, OpenBSD and FreeBSD,
and I am looking for something that is similar to Opsware, but free/cheaper.

This is for a community college, and our budget is 0, so I'm pretty limited
on what I can buy.

You'll get better answers if you describe what you're trying to do, as
opposed to mentioning an obscure product and expecting people to do
their own research.

Best I can tell, you're looking for something ala cfengine or puppet?

Those look like they will help.

Basically I am looking for a way to help automate patching, installing of 
software, audits, etc...

Possibly also bcfg2 from http://www.bcfg2.org, which is in ports.
