I've been using clusterit for several years for multiple small clusters. It works well and was easy to install. I believe I got the Fedora source RPM and rebuilt it for CentOS.

It depends on what you need to do. If you really have enough machines or long-running jobs that a shell loop through them isn't practical, you might want something higher-level like cfengine or puppet, or at least something running under cron to make them independent.
cfengine or puppet (or something else - slackmaster?) are where I want to be eventually - but in the immediate term something like this would help a lot. e.g bouncing my 4 front-end apache servers on 4 different boxes. That sort of thing.
I was actually going to start another "configuration management redux" thread as a follow up to a thread I started a few months ago.
We've tried all the ones in that article you mentioned, and are currently using classh - http://freshmeat.net/projects/classh - which is pretty nice, in spite of being labelled alpha.
I've packaged it for c5 here:

if you'd like to give it a whirl.
