Very useful blog. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Server management is always a hassle for all those servers lined up. You make it quite simple. Quick question...why don't you simply use a server management web-interface platform for your Linux servers? Platforms such as opscode, puppet labs, ScaleXtreme, Rackspace seem to simplify your life better than using a software. For example I use ScaleXtreme's platform for managing the 7 Linux servers that I have. Instead of using the software, simply use a web interface which you can access anywhere on the cloud. I know you might become queasy with the idea of cloud management platforms controlling your servers, but these companies live and die by their reputation to update, provision and manage your linux servers. Just some food for thought. I just believe that buying or installing software will be irrelevant in the future where everything can be acquired through the cloud or through a web server management platform.

@SAM, I didn't include nagios because it was included in my linux server monitoring post. Now I think about it though it could certainly be considered management. Thanks!
