Last month, looking to set up a Git workflow, I got sidetracked by Aegir. Aegir has a long history, born out of hostmaster it has been developed by Adrian, one of the earliest kitten slayers and nourished by many others. During my first Drupalcon in Paris people were going on about it already but I never considered it to be worthfull for a simple single person wannabe themer designer. I believed that features integration and installation profiles would be the hot thing in 2010 and thought nothing more of Aegir than it being a more technical version of Acquia Drupal for hardcore developers.
