Someone post a link to my WP guides. There’s no reason to add the complexity of learning salt on top of setting this up when he already stated he does not have hardly the band with to do anything
No need to learn Salt, just use it. that's part of the beauty of it.
Never. It is a tool that you need to know how to use before you “just use it “.

That's actually one of the things that is great about it, you don't. You can use it as a one time setup tool, like a simpler form of using an install script that someone writes. It's not something you need to know before using. You can think of it as a scripting host in that sense.

Are you referring to it's ability to be used in a masterless environment? I read a little about that part today.

Yes, you can just use it to apply a config that you give it and nothing more. No infrastructure needed. Means most of the benefits get lost, but allows you to use it to set up systems from a state file you find online without needing to know anything about Salt itself.

We should have a salt states file tag, strictly for salt states files. I'll populate it as I make them. I see you have a few on here that could be added.

I like that idea.
