It's a bit off topic, but if we're talking about post-deployment configuration tools and the relative merits, I'll put in a plug for my personal favorite, bcfg2: http://bcfg2.org/ It's a great tool, and too often overlooked when this topic comes up. I'll skip the longer version unless somebody asks for it, but I will say that the people who wrote bcfg2 were trying to do better than cfengine and Puppet, and, particularly for an automatically-deployed network of hosts, I think bcfg2's reporting features make it a compelling choice, even if it doesn't perform any actual changes to the systems where its client runs.
