I would say what is a good way of creating snapshots or backups that you can revert to. I always worry when I am trying to make a configuration change that I am going to screw something up and cause my system not to boot

I am new to Linux on the desktop side. But I've been managing Linux servers on the cli for a few years. Transition to desktop Linux has been tough for me

Yeah, I know, I have been following you for a while. That was a general statement. Are you managing Rhel servers? Linux on the desktop side is a day by day process and just spending time on the command line...what flavor of Linux are you running on the desktop?

Ok, cool, good to know. Docker and containers, definitely something to learn. And of course, Ansible is great to know and use. Are you automating any of your server work with Ansible? Chef? Puppet? Saltstack? I don't want to assume Ansible though a great choice.

Ahhh your using the Enterprise version. Have you heard of or looked at Chocolatey? How many windows servers are you using? There is the win_chocolatey module that manages packages.

We were mainly looking at ansible since we already have it setup. Do you know if they charge for chocolatey? We tried to get octopus but they wouldn't approve it for our team. So ansible was the go to Choice since it was already being used
