This is the most incredible collection of software that I’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing. Even though I’ve yet to complete all the downloads necessary to deploy it, i’ll be spending the next few weeks trying to make sense of all of the code so that I could modify it to fit my needs.
Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this, and I really hope that i’ll be able to decipher it all!

just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your work. this kit and its predecessors have intrigued, challenged, confounded, educated, inspired, and enlightened me greatly over the last several years. this work, along with that of johan’s and niehaus have rewritten the playbooks for IT Consulting Practices on a global level. The effort and cost required for initial infrastructure builds has limited long term benefit for the end customer. through the use of your kits, scripts, and the concepts they entail, we’re now able to focus our efforts on operation and maintenance of the environments we’re building, much to the delight of clients who must assume the reigns when our work is done.
