toolwrap is a tool for managing package installation that extendes the functionality of Stow or Tinypackage. It makes it possible for different releases of a given application to coexist on a single workstation or be deployed on a file server. Policies files allow end-users to select which package is used when a tool is invoked from the command line.
UDPCast allows to send data simultaneously to many destinations on a local net. This can for instance be used to install entire classrooms of PCs at once. The advantage over using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is that udpcast uses Ethernet's multicast abilities: it won't take longer to install 15 machines than it would to install 2. The tool comes with a busybox bootdisk for easy loading of the tool. However, udpcast can also be started from the command line of an already installed system, and can be used for other purposes than just system installation.
uranos is a system that supports unattended installation of several varieties of Linux (kickstart, preseed, autoyast) and Windows (2000, XP, 2003, 2003 R2, Vista, 7, 8, 2008, 2012). It includes features for inventory, software management, DHCP-LDAP, DNS-LDAP, PHP-SSH, syslog-ng, switch management, an LDAP browser, PXE management, central cron management, and license management.
Virt-Factory is a framework for managing a large number of Xen virtual machines, such as might be found in data centers or large lab configurations. It works by managing a pool of registered physical hosts and then deploying virtual machines, which have specific roles as defined by their "profiles" (profiles act as shareable virtual appliance definitions), onto those hosts. Virt-Factory provides both a Web UI (for ease of use) and an XML-RPC API (for scripting of admin actions). A command line interface (along with other advanced batch management features) is coming soon.
xml2hostconf generates RPM packages, dhcpd.conf, pxelinux files, kickstart files, and HTML documentation with XSLT. It is a framework for central configuration and automatic installation of a Fedora/Redhat Linux network. Configuration files get shipped to the client computers by generated RPMs.
