Bcfg2 is a tool that aids in the administration of complex environments.
Using its server-side configuration specification, Bcfg2:
 * Deploys configuration changes
 * Reports on deployment status
 * Detects configuration deviations

Bcfg2 can be used to describe:
 * Single configuration entities (Configuration files, packages, services, etc)
 * Full service configurations
 * Complex multi-machine configurations with subtle interdependencies

All of this information is synthesized into a form that aids in the communication 
of system architecture and administrative policies.

Bcfg2 is fairly portable. It has been successfully run on:
 * Debian (and Ubuntu)
 * RPM-based Linux distributions (Redhat, SuSE, SLES, RHEL, and Mandrake)
 * Solaris
