+cdist (=opposite to ccollect)
+   aka puppet don right
+
+   - reuse of unix, no need for perl^Wruby 
+   - shell
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+what is puppet?
+
+   A configuration deployment assistant,
+   a DSL that allows you define the objectives.
+   A webserver with fileserver capabilities.
+   A client based scheduled polling infrastructure.
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+What do I need from puppet?
+
+   - handling of package managers
+   - Modules: Nice to put stuff together
+   - All the helper types like
+      - file
+      - ssh_keys
+      - 
+   - facter is cool
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+What do I miss from puppet?
+
+   - speed
+   - elegance
+   - clean design
+   - documentation
+   - the "no surprise" factor
+   - easy to use "data memory" (i.e. external ressources)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Simple stuff done by Unix[notm]
+
+   - version control via git
+   - file distribution via ssh
+   - authentication via ssh
+   - dumb clients, similar to manifest compile in puppet
+      - clients just execute commands
