Puppet users - Nov 2010 - quick basics to install functioning ubuntu system?

I''d like to install 3 or 4 ubuntu maverick systems on my linodes,
ideally as soon as possible.  I used to be familar with puppet last
year, and the tides and currents of life swept me away, but I wanted
to see if i could do this task, with this tool.

I need basically web/dev servers, ie:

nginx
openssh
git
standard dev tools
standard security

Is there a bundle or something to aid with installing this all quickly
on ubuntu servers?

Applications will be python based but are using buildout and i''ve got
all that working fine.  I just don''t want to be grinding out an
install all night, and I wanted to ask here about any packages and
especially gotchas/bugs that would nip the re-learner in an hour of
weakness.

Thanks,

Kevin

Did this question have some sort of flaw in etiquette or protocol?
Curious...

Apart from what looks to be you talking to yourself? :) Nope.

I have no idea what you mean by "standard security". Anything that is
a package is simply installed via Puppet using a package resource.

"standard dev tools" is also something that everyone on the list
probably has a different idea about.

If you ask more specific questions, you''re likely to get answers. You
should just work out what packages you want installed, and install
them really.

I talk to myself all the time.  Well, I call it talking.  "Muttering,
grumbling, mumbling under my breath"  is what you might call it, if
you were here, which would be a bit alarming since I''m self
employed ;)

nginx is what I need help with in particular.

This question deals with levels of granularity:  A module is the
smallest.  Are there other levels?

If you''re looking for some help with certain modules a good starting
point is the Puppet Forge (http://forge.puppetlabs.com/).  I looked to
see if there''s an nginx module and there was.  I also saw openssh &
git and there might be other modules you''d want to use for security or
development tools.

Thanks. I did see those before. At the time of my original question, I
was looking for sets of modules, which do not seem to exist per se. The
urgency has passed, I did it by hand. This however is a terrible way to
think ;) so I am relearning puppet for the next time. I think I get it
now, what I was looking for is what I''ll build today.

Ah, What I was looking for originally was a higher level of granularity
besides modules.


Classes, in particular seems to be what I was originally seeking.
