Radmind is an excellent piece of software especially for people who 
have to manage a large number of machines.  For those of you who 
haven't seen Radmind yet, check out this page:

I run Radmind at work to maintain a hundred or so Macintosh desktops 
using a Linux server.  It can also maintain Linux desktops and servers. 
  If you have a large number of machines that need similar software 
deployed Radmind is an excellent tool.  It will handle anything from 
system updates to new software installations and would probably work 
extremely well on Gentoo systems for distributing software - portage 
would work well with radmind.
