This document summarizes an automated Linux management system using FAI for installation and Cfengine for configuration. It discusses the objectives of easy, centralized, and scalable administration. FAI allows unattended installation via PXE boot and custom partitioning and package selection. Cfengine allows centralized configuration of files, directories, and more across many systems through policy files. The process involves PXE booting systems, installing with FAI, configuring with Cfengine, and saving logs.
