meho: so is replica strictly ass only, or are half-asses allowed on it?
11:16
meho: what is the vision for replica?
11:29
<cliebow>
i think i am seeing double
11:31
<vagrantc>
oops. wrong channel.
11:33* vagrantc could explain half-asses and asswholes of freegeek if asked

Burgundavia: hey
14:00
<Burgundavia>
hey vagrantc
14:00
I am home
14:00
<vagrantc>
i figured
14:00
<Burgundavia>
it is raining and about 10 C here
14:00
I WANT TO GO BACK TO SPAIN!!!
14:00
<vagrantc>
it's raining here too
14:00
<Burgundavia>
/whine
14:00
<vagrantc>
it was really nice. i went out and got soaked
14:00
<Burgundavia>
well, rain in 30 C weather is much better
14:01
<vagrantc>
Burgundavia: so after parting ways, i ended up hoping on a metro and not having a clue if it was the right one.
14:01
Burgundavia: the boring thing is it was the right one, and nothing much interesting happened.
14:01
<Burgundavia>
heh
14:01
lol

Burgundavia: have you actually used Puppet?
14:58
Burgundavia: I'm interested in something like that in lieu of AD. Am I barking up the right tree? Is this a sufficiently mature project for production use?
14:58
Burgundavia: I'm just getting started looking at it. Step 1: Ask people in IRC if it's any good. ;)
15:18* vagrantc stares at http://bugs.debian.org/424989 for a while
15:18
<vagrantc>
that's just *way* too much work.

moquist: puppet covers the configuration portion of AD
20:10J45p3r has quit IRC
20:13
<moquist>
Burgundavia: Right; that's what I was aiming for. So is it recommended, then?
20:14
<Burgundavia>
moquist: if is a bit of headache to setup, but after that it is good
20:14
you also need a combination of puppet and sabayon, which covers the gnome parts
20:15
<moquist>
OK; that's helpful to know.
20:16
Burgundavia: have you ever worked with any imaging solutions for linux?
20:16
<Burgundavia>
none
20:16
<moquist>
k
20:16
<Burgundavia>
too small an intfrastructure
20:16
the probelm with imagine solutions is that they are very brittle, in general
20:17* moquist nods
20:17
<Burgundavia>
you constantly need to create new images
20:17
better to create a config server and then figure out how to kickstart your install to the point where it can contact that server
20:18
<moquist>
right. I worked on jacal.sourceforge.net when I was at Taylor University, but I suspect setting that up for our dispersed environment wouldn't be worth it.
20:18
Burgundavia: Yeah, I'm thinking along those lines, too.
20:18
Burgundavia: I've never worked with kickstart or preseeding or any of those methods.
20:18
<Burgundavia>
nor have I
20:18
I know the
20:18
Canonical people are thinking about this for their server stuff
20:19
gutsy is going to be a push for such stuff, apparnetly
20:21
which reminds me that I have a bunch of specs I need to write
20:23
<moquist>
I know. I tried to read your MassDeployment spec but there wasn't really anything there. :)
20:23
<Burgundavia>
it is currently sitting in a tomboy note
20:25
I need to have a conversation with some of the Canonical people to figure out how to break it out
20:25
given I don't see somebody from the community stepping up right now
20:26
<moquist>
Burgundavia: what are you/they looking at -- easy setup & config of Puppet+Sabayon, or something more extensive?
20:26
<Burgundavia>
I think they are planning some intrastructure bits
20:27
need to hook into that, to reduce the amount of work needed
20:27
<moquist>
Ah; I don't know that I can help much with that. But I hope to be exploring this general area for my school district (10 sites, 5-6k users), so I could be involved to some extent.
20:28
<Burgundavia>
ahh, cool
20:28
if you get a bunch of new machines, how do you handle them?
20:28
<moquist>
I have the dream of being able to sit down and boot from the network, select with OS I want, and walk away.
20:28
<Burgundavia>
basic practices are not entirely clear to me
20:28
<moquist>
Right now we only have Windows XP and thin clients, with the exception of 15 Ubuntu systems at one school.
20:28
<Burgundavia>
s/basic/best/
20:29
<moquist>
My boss is talking about switching to Linux fat clients, too, but I don't know that it's going to go anywhere soon. But if I have a migration mechanism all researched out and tested...
20:29* moquist nods
20:29
<Burgundavia>
right
20:29
are you talking installed fat clients or ltsp fat clients?
20:29
<moquist>
installed.
20:30
<Burgundavia>
right
20:30
<moquist>
replacing XP.
20:30
<Burgundavia>
ahh
20:30
if they are constantly connected, why not do ltsp fat clients?
20:30
<moquist>
But hopefully easier to manage (that will sell well) and with more software available (duh).
20:30
<Burgundavia>
ie: network boot
20:30
<moquist>
'cuz it would have to load the OS over the network.
20:30
<Burgundavia>
right
20:31
<moquist>
Also, there would be lots of customization required to get that to work.
20:31
<Burgundavia>
ahh
20:31
<moquist>
OOTB is a big sticking point for us. I feel handcuffed, actually. It's distressing sometimes. 8\
20:31
<Burgundavia>
there is also some very cool work that RH is doing
20:31
et.redhat.com
20:32
<moquist>
such as http://et.redhat.com/emd/prm/ ? :)
20:32
<Burgundavia>
yep
20:32
cobbler and koan are also bits that need to be made to work with Ubuntu
20:33* moquist nods
20:33
<Burgundavia>
for RH these are play things
20:34
we can take and make them rock
20:36
I would seriously love some people to take the raw tools and figure out what is needed
20:36
<moquist>
you can include LTSP in the antecedent of "these", IMO.
20:36
but hopefully that's changing for the better.
20:36
<Burgundavia>
ltsp on a generic Ubuntu install needs to made easier
20:36* moquist nods
20:37
<Burgundavia>
basically, somebody needs to play with these tools and figure out how to make them work with ubuntu and then write down the steps
20:37
I am about to quit my job and thus going to leave my play lab
20:37
<moquist>
heading to something better, I hope?
20:38
Exactly - that's the sort of thing I would love to get done this summer.
20:38
<Burgundavia>
currently I just need to get out of the very poisonous atmostphere
20:38
<moquist>
Ohhhhh. :(
20:39
<Burgundavia>
it is really sad, because it is a desktop Linux company, a relative rarity in Canada
20:41
anyway, need to make dinner
20:42
<moquist>
enjoy
