Linux - Centralized Patch Management System

    I posted this over in Unix forum, no replies yet so might have better luck here (hope you don't mind mods)

    I'm running a small (but growing!) Linux environment comprising of about 21 Linux servers

    The environment I mainly look after consists of CentOS 5 & 6 and Red Hat 6.
    All of these are patched individually via their appropriate yum repos.

    Can anyone suggest a method of centralising patch management for these servers? I've heard that Puppet is often used to do this but I've never used it myself, and would be interested in hearing from other system administrators.

    Support for Solaris and Windows would be a bonus....and open-source!

    Cheers
