Gnome has Sabayon for just that use case. I've used it before for Linux desktops. Not sure how much work it would take to get running on OpenIndiana: http://live.gnome.org/Sabayon You might also try Puppet as another commenter pointed out. Use jruby and run "gem install puppet" to start. It will be in /var/ruby/1.8/gem_home/bin/puppet if you install it with root privileges.
