HOLD IT HOLD IT! I have to make an urgent correction to your response 
above :)
Conga requires absolutely NO configuration of zope. In fact, zope is so 
far beneath the sheets that you will be able to install your OWN default 
instance of zope, and there will be no interaction with Conga.

After installing the Conga server component, the admin enters the IP 
addresses of the machines/cluster nodes to be managed just like you do 
with cs-deploy-tool.  There is no other configuration work necessary.

It is true that you will need the agent installed on the machines that 
you wish to manage. cs-deploy-tool does not use an agent, but rather 
logs in through an ssh session with the user-provided root password in 
order to get things set up. cs-deploy-tool is not going away, and your 
patches are welcome.  You can send them to me and I will forward them to 
Stan Kupcevic who wrote and maintains cs-deploy-tool. Thanks for your 
involvement, Leonardo.
