Regarding #3

Systemd start command reversed Ch1

From Ch 1:

Now that the salt-master has been installed, you may need to start it. Depending on your operating system, you may need to use systemctl salt-master start or service salt-master start.

Should be # systemctl start salt-master

Chapter 1 add instructions for accepting the salt key

Page 32 Line 8

3 {% if grains['os'] == 'Ubuntu %}
Close the simple quote on 'Ubuntu'.

Empty github link in Ch 1

The recommended way to install SALTSTACK is to use your package manager. You also can install SALTSTACK from source by cloning the [SALTSTACK Github] repositories. Instructions are available in the repositories regarding the dependecies required prior to installation from source.

Also dependencies is misspelled.

Next Chapter(s)

I was thinking for the next chapters being:

• Salt-Cloud
• SALT Reactor

So, to you readers, do you have any input?

Typo

Chapter 2, last paragraph before the section "Set up Your Master".

on minion acting as the webserver => one minion acting as the webserver.

It is a great book! Thanks for writing it!

From Tom github link typo

Hi Ben,
I just purchased a copy of your book - a great read, thanks for that!

Just one small thing to be corrected:
The link to the GitHub repository has a typo, the 't' in 'saltstack' is missing.
https://github.com/salstack/salt
https://github.com/saltstack/salt

Thanks again,
Tom

Typo Page 7 Chapter 0

Thankfully, SALTSTACK has a way to make this much easier and simpler using Jinja.
...
{% elif grains['os'] == 'RedHat %}
...

Should be:

{% elif grains['os'] == 'RedHat' %}

(missing end quote for RedHat)

apples and bananas makes no sense

In Boolean Operators in Python you write apples and bananas, which resolves to the value of bananas, since apples is not falsy. I don't know what you are trying to do there, but it doesn't make sense to me.

SALSTACK

Dude, you've got several instances of SALTSTACK spelled as SALSTACK. Even some bad links with the same error. Please fix.

Cheers,
Jason
