I'm working on some features on the development branch (Cobbler
1.3 and
later) that will make it very easy for admins to set up new
machines/nodes so that they are running Func out of the box. I think
this is a very powerful way to deploy things so that they are
controllable later and should hopefully introduce more people to Func
(
http://fedorahosted.org/func).
You can read more about what I'm doing here:

On a related note, I still need some help testing the Puppet external
nodes integration feature on the devel branch ...
https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/UsingCobblerWithConfigManagementSystem
In conjunction these become nicely powerful in that you have a config
management system and also a system (Func!) for one-off tasks, misc
scripting, and "do this now!" type activity. Coupled with a deployment
system (Cobbler) this becomes especially nice.
Read an outside view on this in terms of Francesco Crippa's presentation
to Linux TAG this year:

I updated this a bit to talk about using Cobbler to mirror the packages
Func needs. This is already discussed at
but I figured it
might be non-obvious that Func wasn't in the core
for Fedora and/or EL.
