At the moment our Linux deployment is a manual procedure: install Progress, Java, application software, databases, maintenance scripts etc. all done manually.
What method do you use next to regular scripting that would make our life easier?
In the end I would like to be able to do something like:
yum install app
yum update app
yum uninstall app
from a central repository.

Thanks, but I was more thinking about preparing the Linux (CentOS) server.
At the moment we have around 50 tasks that need to be done by the person doing the install varying from kernel tuning to installing Progress. Very time consuming and error prone.
Of course it can be done by shell scripting, but I was wondering if there are alternatives that are better manageable.
We could (?) use OS images but that is not my first choice.
