Hello, I was going to suggest CFEngine 3 too. IMO, cfengine is easier to setup and has fewer dependencies than puppet (cfengine depends on libc and that's it). I do not know Chef, so I cannot speak about it.
AFAIK, puppet is bound by default to localhost and changing it to listen to eth0 was a pain because of the bad "debugging" tools. I've made some errors during configuration and I had a lot of trouble finding them. See Puppet errors explained http://bitcube.co.uk/content/puppet-errors-explained. Also do a search by "unhelpful" on their issue tracker: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/search/index/puppet?q=Unhelpful&scope=&all_words=&all_words=1&titles_only=&issues=1&submit=Submit. As you can see there were quite a few unhelpful errors some time ago, but I haven't tried puppet recently, so the situation may have changed. But do not take this to mean that you can install CFEngine 3 like apt-get install wget and you're done. If you can, try both and see which one you like. Also please post back your findings.
