Open Source Unix Shell Systems Administration Software for Linux

m23 is a free software distribution system (license: GPL), that installs (via network, starting with partitioning and formatting) and administrates (updates, adds / removes software, adds / removes scripts) clients with Debian, (X/K)Ubuntu and LinuxMint. It is used for deployment of Linux clients in schools, institutions and enterprises. The m23 server is controlled via a web interface. A new m23 client can be installed easily in only three steps. Group functions and mass installation tools make managing a vast number of clients comfortable. The integration of existing clients (with .deb-based distributions) into the system is possible, too. Client backup and server backup are included to avoid data loss. With the integrated virtualisation software, m23 can create and manage virtual m23 clients, that run on real m23 clients or the m23 server. Scripts and software packages (for installation on clients) can be created directly from the m23 web interface.

This OPSI SERVER Command line Tool (Opsi Updater) will check for available OPSI Product Updates on official Servers (example Mozilla) and will allow to Download and Update older Product Versions on OPSI Repository and distribute them on clients having older versions. readme: http://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/opsiupdater/code-0/trunk/readme.txt
