Right. That's what we do. We manage a couple of hundred secured servers
in more than hundred different locations using RPM. All servers need
to contain *exactly* the same software to ease management. We only
allow RPM's on those machine, I think it's the only way we can be
*sure* they contain exactly the same setup, we can install a new
server really quick. I don't say there aren't any other ways but
for our setup it works really well.
