[ale] enterprise rhel/centos management

[Chuck Payne]

Go with Spacewalk if you are going with Just going to use CentOS, you
can use RHEL with Spacewalk. If you use RHEL then Satellite, I use to
have one at the travel channel, take care of that many servers is a
piece of cake, spacewalk is the nice too.

If you do in-yum repostory set up a kickstart server that will save
you headaches because this you can set up your builds to be the same
then point it to the yum server for updates.

The key to take care of so many server to get a standard build. If not
you lost the war. That was is nice about Satellite/Spacewalk and
Kickstart servers.
