Hi Greg,

We use it to manage a couple of hundred UNIX machines, from desktop
Linux workstations to 32-processor SGI's to 48-processor 12-node AIX beasts to 
nodes on compute grid/clusters to SUN Workstations to Email servers
to.....  :-)

It's made my job go from being a waking hell of firefighting and mangled
local configurations & spaghetti scripts to being a quite enjoyable job :-)  Now
if I could just put the users under cfengine's control too...... ;-)



Billy.
