Cobbler is a network boot and update server. It supports PXE, provisioning virtualized images, and reinstalling existing Linux machines. The last two modes require a helper tool called 'koan' that integrates with cobbler. Advanced features include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum mirroring, and built-in DHCP/DNS Management. Cobbler has a Python and XML-RPC API for integration with other applications. It supports RHEL 4+, Fedora, and derivative distributions, and is also able to install other popular distributions. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: This is a stable release that contains support for auto-managing BIND (in addition to previous support for dnsmasq), the ability to automatically build ISOs to assist installation in PXE-less environments, and support for LDAP and Kerberos authentication in the Web UI. It also includes numerous minor feature additions and bugfixes.
