[LUG] Remote software installation

 

Anyone aware of a tool that will allow me to, for example, install one
or more updates on a Linux system across a network of, say, one hundred
machines?

Basically I want to be able to take a number of updates, check they
don't break anything manually and then have an easy way of forcing
installation of that package on all the production servers in a
controlled manner.

Years ago we used to use IBM's Tivoli for doing this on Solaris boxes,
IIRC, but that's a bit overkill for what I want now.
