Puppet users - Oct 2007 - Is there a sample config out there?

Hi folks,

I''m working on building up a puppet infrastructure, and I''m
having the
darndest time putting it all together.

I''ve read through as many of the docs as I can find.  I''ve
read the best
practices guide.  And I''m still not grokking how to do what I want to
do
in puppet.  I''ve spend enough time with cfengine that I''m sure
part of
my problem is pre-conceived notions of how these things get done that 
don''t apply in the puppet world.

I find myself yearning for a somewhat complete example config (perhaps 
even annotated) that I could use as a baseline.  The snippets of code in 
the docs I generally find useful for syntax, but they don''t include 
enough context for me to mentally put them into the big picture.

Is there anything like a full example config somewhere out there that 
I''ve failed to find?

Thanks!

http://git.black.co.at/?p=manifests.git has my complete production repo. You 
can get a local copy by running "git clone
git://git.black.co.at/manifests".
