[ale] Satellite 6 opinions?

[Jim Kinney]

My understanding is 6 does everything 5 did plus. By dropping the custom
code for puppet, the ability to manage multiple, different types of Linux
systems emerged.

But, I've not used it yet. I did tinker with Spacewalk (upstream version)
while it was still version 5 so 6 is all new for me.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
