Typical use of chef

[Miguel Cabeça <cabeca@ist.utl.pt>]

Hi,

I was just wondering what is the typical use of chef for the users in  
this mailing list. It seems to me that the majority of chef's users  
are ruby shops, or otherwise web/lb/db companies with a hosting  or  
cloud infrastructure.

Am I alone in using chef as a configuration tool for any type of  
server (mail, ldap, kerberos, gateway, router) or workstation in an  
academic scenario?

Best Regards
