Yes, surely. I'm looking for a cfengine2 expert who will test all
cfengine1 scripts in FAI (currently two scripts in the simple
examples) and who can tell me if they will also run with cfengine 2.

    > Most scripts should still work via '#!/usr/sbin/cfagent -f ' instead of '#!//usr/bin/cfengine'
"Should still work" does not convince me!!! You have to proof it! You have
to test it and to know which are the difference in cfengine 1 and 2
and if they may influence the FAI scripts. If this is done, I like to
switch to cfengine2.

    > MfFai: How well will cfengine2 fit into the 'updating a system with fai' - concept?
Perfect. There's a company using FAI, which only uses cfengine2
scripts as config scripts and for updates and maintenance of the whole
system. So if you like cfengine2 you can do all configuration partys
with cfengine2. I prefer a mixture between shell and cfengine.
