[Spacewalk-list] Cobbler + windows

[Paul Robert Marino]

Spacewalk does not support windows at this time and as far as I'm aware
there is noplan to make it do so.
Although I have to admit it sounds like an intresting idea but in practice
I don't think it would work too well.
As it stands the number of linux distros supported plus the solaris support
is some what ambitious and adding windows into the mix would add a whole
set of new components that probably wouldn't integrate too well because the
operating systems have such different designs. This is the kind of mistake
that many other provisioning systems have made. They try to cover every
thing and as a result do nothing well.
