== Introduction ==
Spacewalk is a great open source project which delivers a Linux systems management solution. According to the [https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/ project's wiki page], here's what Spacewalk allows you to do:

* Inventory your systems (hardware and software information)
* Install and update software on your systems
* Collect and distribute your custom software packages into manageable groups
* Provision (Kickstart) your systems
* Manage and deploy configuration files to your systems
* Provision virtual guests
* Start/stop/configure virtual guests

As you it can be seen from the above list, patch management is only a small subset of features available in Spacewalk and it trully is a very versatile tool.

As our homelab grows, manual patch management can become a bit of a nightmare. This is where Spacewalk really comes in handy, making it possible to patch your entire environment in a matter of minutes, at the same time ensuring that all operating systems are patched to the same baseline.

== Requirements ==

== Installation ==

This installation guide assumes that we use Centos 7 to install our Spacewalk server.

First of all, we will need to install the spacewalk-repo package

<pre>rpm -Uvh http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.5/RHEL/7/x86_64/spacewalk-repo-2.5-3.el7.noarch.rpm</pre>
