Any caveats or oddities?I think the only thing likely to be different about Ubuntu is that Ubuntu is talking about introducing a new service management framework to replace the System V init script structure that Puppet may not know about yet. The same may eventually affect Debian, but probably not for a year or more. -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>

Actually it is introduced, it may well be default on new installs but a dist-ugrade doesn''t currently replace sysvinit, although that may change with the next release :- Package: upstart New: yes State: not installed Version: 0.2.7-7 Priority: required Section: base Maintainer: Scott James Remnant <scott@ubuntu.com> Uncompressed Size: 307k PreDepends: libc6 (>= 2.4-1), sysvutils (>= 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu11) Recommends: upstart-compat-sysv, upstart-logd, startup-tasks, system-services Conflicts: sysvinit Replaces: sysvinit Description: event-based init daemon upstart is a replacement for the /sbin/init daemon which handles starting of tasks and services during boot, stopping them during shutdown and supervising them while the system is running.

This is getting pretty tiring. I can tell it''s going to be a race between the number of package types Puppet supports and the number of service frameworks.
