We did create our own solution and are still expanding it. Currently we set
what a server should look like at the servers, we want to change it to the
central system. This would make it easier to deploy extra servers (only
entering a MAC address, selecting software and starting a server should be
enough to auto-deploy it).
Our current solution is designed for Debian/Ubuntu, but should also work on
other Linux distributions.
A working copy might be available; please contact me offlist and I'll look
what I can do.
Kind regards,
Mark
