- SVN for centrally managing scripts and pushing them out/pulling fixes 
in (you need an update script to run at each machine)
- KVM hardware to control the machines' console and if possibly power 
supply remotely, otherwise you won't be able to test booting and things 
will fail at the first occasion
- dancer's shell (http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/software/dsh.html.en) 
which I haven't tried yet though (on my todo)
- MRTG or better rrdtool plus associated helper scripts to graph nice 
curves of machine/OS behaviour (setting up the scripts involves 
insiduous work, maybe look for a commercial solution)
