Hi, thanks a lot for all the excellent suggestions. It's great to hear from people with real world experience.
We have decided to divide and conquer: first stage, a short & simple Python script, based on Fabric, to command the upgrades. It is so simple that it is already done. Second stage: we'll start researching Cfengine; from the documentation and your opinions it is readily apparent that its advantages far outweigh its drawbacks. Configuration management is almost too good to be true ;) Thanks a lot, Carlos. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
