Puppet, Chef, or Bcfg2 could do it but it will probably take you a long time to get your head around those beasts, let alone setting up the infrastructure.
I dont know about that - it took me about 20 min to get my head around the basic 'types' in puppet and another 20 min to get the infra setup to manage about 5 machines ( this was when I was starting out with puppet ~ 2006'ish ? )
I'm impressed :-)
I had a look at Puppet early this year, planning to migrate to it from existing Bcfg2 set up. There is a lot of good documentation, but there seemed to be a lot of options and it was not clear to me what the best path forward was. Reading a copy of Pro Puppet cleared things up, but I was still estimating the migration to take at least a week or two, with some hard thinking about relationships and structures.
