Now thinking about it... wouldn't it be good and even needed to have beside install option on installer something like install to render nodes or something to help out mass installation? Even on 10 more computers is time consuming now add a 0 there or something..
How are you guys handling installation and management on small and medium render farms at all? Installation, upgrades, addons and upgrades of addons... Sorry for a bit of a hijack but it is kinda same topic right?
