Hello,

I know there is landscape from canonical, but it has some $$ costs. Als there is webmin, and it can be used as a cluster management tool. Also there is m23, probably the most usable and interesting peace of manager software.

But, what would you suggest to install and use on following configuration:

1) 100 desktop users, against an AD with quest authentication services installed. (ubunt8.04,9.04,9.10,10.04) 2) 50 servers (debian sid, lenny , ubuntu 8.04 and 10.04)

We work on different software, so each group of persons need different configurations, each server has different pourposses, nothing is clusterized. And we have a good enough backup software.

So , my objectives are: - easy install (deploy) - good reporting - easy logonscripts for users - easy bootupscripts for servers

Thanks all for reading, and more thanks for your time.

Marc
