Description:
Cobbler is a command line tool for simplified configuration of a provisioning server. It supports provisioning via PXE (Link), Xen (Link), and re-provisioning an existing Linux system via a method called "auto-kickstarting", made popular by Red Hat Network (Link). The last two modes require usage of a program called "koan" on the remote system.
Koan stands for "kickstart-over-a-network" and allows for both network provisioning of new Xen guests and auto-kickstarting. It interacts with a centralized boot server that has been configured with cobbler.
Documentation for each is contained in the manpages for the respective programs (for now). Both applications are written in Python and are released under the GPL.
