Do you have a link to Jumpstart or Kickstart?

I use a stem cell with ruby + puppet and iclassify-interface (http://github.com/loe/iclassify-interface/tree/...), but I need a slick way to have the gem run and then puppet started once the instance boots. I could use a bash script but I don't like the lack of flexibility.

lak I couldn't find good links to the actual products, but they're just
the vendor-specific install tools for Solaris and Red hat:

Scoundrel Yes, I've seen this framework, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get control over ack messages in my tests - it just acknowledges all the messages automatically :-(

Do you guys use Sphinx to index the contents of your documents, or only metadata about them that is stored in the database?

#36 (Ryan) - how much is it going to cost me to deploy it?

Sam - these are my sentiments on the issue exactly. Microsoft does have some nice products (I hear great things about MSSQL) but I can't even use them unless I commit to a 100% Microsoft platform. Why can't I deploy Linux webservers talking to a MSSQL database behind OpenBSD balancer/firewalls? As a self-taught developer I started playing with the Microsoft offerings that were on my W2K box first. Then when I looked into publishing my work, there were no options - it was either pay out the nose or switch. I switched. Microsoft tools suck for the small shop, and like it or not thats where most of the development comes from. Don't lock me in, don't lock me in, don't lock me in. Its MY BUISNESS let me do with it what I want, don't require me to upgrade just to keep functionality. Don't require me to buy something else to get one feature that I want. I should be able to purchase directly the exact software solution to the problem I want to solve. Right now I solve my own problems, it doesn't cost me money - it costs me time. There currently is no way to flip that relationship around, and thats where I think Microsoft's opportunity in the "Web 2.0" is. Don't lock me in, don't lock me in, don't lock me in, don't lock me in....
