With specialized skills, a craftsman’s economic contribution was a function of personal quantity and quality, and a skilled artisan often found it undesirable, if not impossible, to duplicate previous work with accuracy.

In his book and in this interview, Turnbull describes how to use Puppet and the broader principles of configuration management, particularly when managing multiple systems." .. _Expert Q&A: Simplifying configuration management with Puppet: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1311788,00.html Pulling Strings with Puppet: Configuration Management Made Easy_ ------------------------------------------------------------------- :By: James Turnbull_ :On: Apress_ :Date: February 2008 "Pulling Strings with Puppet" is the first book on Puppet.
