[[User:Katzj|Jeremy Katz]] took a look<ref>http://velohacker.com/fedora-notes/why-do-all-deployment-systems-suck/</ref> at a number of deployment systems. "Given that this seemed like a pretty typical problem, I figured I’d take a look and see what open source projects exist out there to see if any of them were suitable or could be at least close to a good fit for what we need and want. Unfortunately, I was kind of disappointed..."
The release of Fedora 16 has been the main topic of the blogroll recently, and it's fair to say that it's being greeted with open arms by many of the users.
