Yes, I bought your ebook last night pre-rant and gave it a quick once over. It's was pretty low level. I hope you might consider adding some labs at the end to tie it together at some point.

Cfengine looks like it's in for the long haul. I think with a proper framework it would even be useful in the single rack applications I desire. Think Ruby on Rails vs. roll your own everything. That's what I'd like to see on top of something like Cfengine.

Thanks for the feedback on the book. If you have any detailed comments, please let me know, preferably over at http://cf-learn.info/discussion.html.

CFEngine is definitely in for the long haul. There are many users of CFEngine that have built and manage complex infrastructures using it, and have built their own high-level components. We are now starting a more organized effort to bring more of these components to the community.
