linux for the always-on internet infrastructure -- highly available and manageable for user optimization

Developed by Finland's Linus Torvalds, distributed for free, and organically enhanced by thousands of programmers worldwide, Linux has now hit the big time! According to IDC, Linux realized a 27% share of operating system software sold in 2000, up from 17% in 1998.

System Automation with PXE, Kickstart, and Cfengine
John Borwick
Manually installing operating systems and software is hard, and inevitably results in mistakes that make each server subtly different. Many administrators have surmounted the problems of manual installation by implementing a fully automated installation (FAI) process. With FAI, you can tell a server to install itself and return later to find a fully configured machine. The problem with FAI is that, while it guarantees a certain initial state, it does not necessarily configure each application or maintain the server's state over time -- you're on your own scheduling cron jobs and installing configuration files.
