Jon, If you are taking care of a lot of RHEL or CentOS boxes, the answer is Yes! I use it to kickstart my servers, both physical and virtual. I use it to maintance and patch my servers. You can also use it to monitor them as well. Can use it as a low level cvs for conifig files, though I think puppet is better.
