Hi all, A friend of mine gives me a copy of Centos5 DVD. I then make an iso of it using dd if=/dev/cdrom of=centos5.iso command. I then check it using sha1sum.

I''m still tinkering, moving over code from CFE to Puppet in a test environment. One item I did with CfE was manage services. If something wasn''t running, it was restarted. Puppet''s service integration makes this easy. The flip side, is how do you guarantee Puppet''s running? I pulled some tricks with CfE to ensure it was always running. I made CfE a direct
