Puppet users - Jul 2013 - Latest Puppet Enterprise + Debian Lenny nodes?

Hi there,

Would it be possible to run Puppet Enterprise and manage nodes based on 
Debian Lenny? 

I know the OS is end of life and not supported by Puppet (as in the 
company) and of course I don''t expect any support.

Would it still be possible to use it, even with a limited set of 
capabilities like deploying users, restarting services maybe?

Thanks in advance.

Really no one bothers to answer or is it just a totally stupid question? :-)

Thanks ;-)

Hi,

puppet doesn''t have many requirements. Chief among them is ruby 1.8,
which Debian 5 has, so it shouldn''t be very hard to get it working.

HTH,
Felix

Thanks for your answer. I still wonder if the enterprise version has any
special requirement (satisfied by the binary itself rather than third party
libraries) that would prevent the old agent to work correctly with the
enterprise infrastructure.

Thanks,

Marco
