DESCRIPTION
-----------
Cdist is a very simple, elegant, cleanly designed configuration management
system. Cdist allows you to centrally define configurations for UNIX systems
Cdist generally uses the push approach (a server pushes out the
configuration to the clients), but can also be used the pull way.
Cdist-deploy-to is the main command to be used to configure a host.
The mapping of configurations to hosts is defined in so called manifests,
which are written in shell script language.
Logical units of functionality are called "types" in cdist jargon. Cdist ships
with some types, which you can change or create new ones or even submit your
types for inclusion into cdist.
The fastest way to get a host configured using cdist is probably using
cdist-quickstart.
