      Chef, or Puppet, et. al., make for good home projects too. Many of them are available for free. Chef has an unlimited use open source version and they have both a hosted and on premise non-open "Enterprise" version which is free for up to five servers under management. So for people to use at home it is extremely accessible. Nothing to stop someone from using it to manage their own home environment. Right now it supports Windows, Mac OSX, Solaris and most major Linux distros (RHEL family, Suse, Debian and Ubuntu formally but I've seen official Arch and other packages in there.) I've not seen BSD support but it might work, I don't know.

            Chef and Puppet really seam to have come out on top as the two leading players in the DevOps / Cloud automation space. They get the vast majority of the media attention.

              Disappointed. I thought you were planning a career change involving cooking.

                          Good question. The answer is squarely... It depends.

                          Do you want hosted or on premise?

                          How many machines do you want to support?

                          Do you need a graphical interface?

                          What platforms do you want to support?

                              Glad to hear the conference went well! I think it's a great concept, I'm looking forward to seeing developments in that sector (expecially OpenCompute).

                                Then Puppet as Chef doesn't do graphical.
