Manage your Macs on a budget

Munki has a few things going for it. It has a small footprint. Its open source. Its well supported. Its free.

Many companies use Munki and Casper together (Google) while other smaller companies use only Munki. Munki requires any web server or Mac OSX Server running Apache, and a fairly stable network.
