Sysadmin-based variations

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on February 29, 2004 12:10 PM
What we need is a base distribution that has a built-in mechanism to make multiple computers track the package changes on a master system. Not just updates of already-installed packages, but to the point that new packages installed on the master will be picked up by others tracking it on the next update, and likewise for deletions. Then a few good sysadmins could manage perhaps a hundred different master systems targeted for specific purposes and all the rest of the world would have to do is periodic updates.
