| − | '''If you use WPKG, we'd be glad to hear what you think about it.'''

| − | Please specify on how many workstations you use it, with what type of network (Samba, Active Directory, mixed, etc.), and other information that you think could be useful.

| |
| − | Also, it would be interesting, although not necessary, to specify your name and/or country, company/university/school, with links etc.

| − | We use WPKG on about 200 workstations, both with Samba and Active Directory. It is very flexible and saved us a lot of work. We don't use AD's built-in software deployment capabilities, because they were too limited and allowed only MSI installation - we use WPKG solely instead.

| − | We are in the process of deploying WPKG on to a network of around 70 PCs: have been impressed by the flexibility that WPKG offers for determining which workstations get which packages. Very nice. -- [http://www.ceu.ox.ac.uk/ Cancer Epidemiology Unit, University of Oxford]

| − | I just finished a project for [http://www.schongau.ch/de/bildung/schulenschongau/ Schule Schongau] in Switzerland. Here we manage about 15 computers using WPKG. All server-backend runs on Gentoo/Linux. In addition I implemented a linux-based RIS server (check out [http://oss.netfarm.it/guides/ris-linux.php Linux-RIS] for details, thanks to Sherpya). The installation is currently running on WPKG version 0.9.11-test1 directly accessing the configuration from WPKG-web. Through one single RunOnce entry it is possible to automatically install WPKG at the end of the setup process. After a restart it starts to deploy the software - very clean and smoothly.
