I'm looking to deploy a configuration management system at my company and was wondering which config management was better: cfengine or Puppet? Pros/Cons? I'm looking to deploy the free version of each. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

NAME

       cf-know - cfengine's knowledge agent

SYNOPSIS
:
	cf-know [options]

DESCRIPTION
:
       The knowledge management agent is capable of building and analysing a semantic knowledge network. It can configure a relational database to
       contain an ISO standard topic map and permit regular-expression based searching of the map. Analysis of the semantic network  can  be  per-
       formed  providing  graphical  output of the data, and cf-know can assemble and converge the reference manual for the current version of the
       Cfengine software.  cfengine is a self-healing configuration and change management based system. You can think of cfengine as a	very  high
       level  language, much higher level than Perl or shell. Asingle statement is called a promise, and compliance can result in many hundreds of
       filesbeing created, or the permissions of many hundreds offiles being set. The idea of cfengine is to create a one or more sets of configu-
       ration files which willclassify and describe the setup of every host in a network.
