I recommend using Cobbler to do the following for you:
1) Manage your OS distributions
2) Deploy your systems (PXE, koan virtual boots)
3) Provide basic filesystem partitioning (the snippets are very useful for
this)
4) Kickoff CM: either Chef, Puppet, ansible-pull, or other. This is what
Cobbler-Web's Management Tab is for :)
If you have not used CM before, I strong recommend looking into Ansible as
it has the least challenging learning curve:
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/intro_getting_started.html
Also, as it's been mentioned before on this list and elsewhere, the same
guy who started the Cobbler project is the guy who started Ansible.
Good luck.

Thanks, Thomas, I got it.
I think I should go through all the snippets and scripts to get started.
If anyone have better idea to get started with cobbler.
