About
System Soup is the tech blog of Mike Pountney, a configuration management and devops advocate working as a systems manager and administrator in Brighton, UK.
I’m a big fan of Reductive Labs’ Puppet, and pretty much any other tool or process that makes systems administration less gung-ho and more like an actual profession.
I also like roast dinners, Belgian beer, Guiness, and pottering around the countryside in a knackered old camper van.
I don’t like conversations about whether FreeBSD is better than Linux is better than Windows. They are all great for certain things. Cotton wool makes me shiver too.
