[olug] Watching installs to reproduce/replicate later.

[Damian Harouff]

I don't know of a pointy-clicky tool, but I use Ansible to deploy
replicated setups to servers: http://www.ansible.com/how-ansible-works

It doesn't have a "record" function, but your shell history should be able
to provide you with a command history that you can use to generate an
Ansible playbook.
