You can use it to script your server build process.: "This seems like a very nice simple tool to solve a common problem. My only confusion is that there are a bunch of similar tools to do the same thing. Each has its own DSL, written in ruby or some other language, has its own conceptual steucture, and its own bugs. It’s enough to make me decide to just keep doing it by hand. Heres what the author says: “ Prepper is a simple server provisioning tool, built on top of SSHKit.

Networking on the Network

Link: Networking on the Network: "Several million people employ electronic mail for some significant portion of their professional communications. Yet in my experience few people have figured out how to use the net productively.

I will focus on the use of electronic communication in research communities, but the underlying principles will be applicable to many other communities as well."
