DAMN...you beat me to the punch! It does work, and well. We used this 
tecnique in OS9 for years (yes, us Macintosh Systems Administrators 
have tools similar to Windows and Linux) and I'm begging to use it in 
OSX.

...but...you still have the issue of license cost, which is where 
Linux beats OSX. Linux is free, which is enough to keep people away 
from OSX. For universities, where there isn't a whole lot of money to 
go around, there really is no choice. Linux is THE choice.

I've been a Mac techie for a few years now, a MacSysAdmin for the 
past two. I learned the hard way that if you're going to admin dozens 
to hundreds or even thousands of Macs, you need to do it efficently.

I'm a big fan of NetOctopus, but since FileScripter isn't being 
developed anymore I'm looking into FileWave for global 
updates/upgrades/installs/configuration changes.
