Exactly If I want to use FSS to configure the server, I already do. I don't need the "latest fad in configuration tool" to do something FSSs already do! Like fabric. If you're not using their advanced features, you're writing a shell script in python. Thanks, I'll write a shell script

  Yeah, but like, that's not a shell script, man.

Most people coming from chef would have done the drudgery of msking surr ruby works.

  chef installs as omnibus, so you're suggesting that people should install the massive chef stack, and then the FSS gem? _brilliant_ !

    Well this is clearly aimed at people who are frustrated with Chef, above and beyond the frustrations of figuring out how to install ruby (just install from source, rvm sucks). If someone doesn't already have Chef installed, why would they even have clicked on this link?

I agree. This would be far more awesome if you could install it with a fucking shell script. It is called fucking shell scripts. Not fucking ruby scripts.

  Joking aside, there is something to be said about doing CM with the shell. If somebody created a list of requirements for the perfect language for doing CM it would probably be similar to: - Always available on every machine - Proven reliable and stable - Built to interface with the OS and other utilities Hmm, that sounds a lot like the shell. If your application doesn't already depend on Ruby, bringing Ruby in as a dependency, is a lot of extra overhead. There is something to be said about this concept, but it should be shell all the way down.

    On the other hand, Python comes installed by default on Red Hat, CentOS, Scientific Linux, Gentoo, Debian, Ubuntu, MacOS X, Solaris and OpenIndiana, at least, so a "full" CM system like Ansible is potentially more portable than FSS :)
