Multi-system administration with Func

My company has a few host management systems.  So many, in fact, that we're trying to get rid
of most of them.  The most effective one I've used had a simple PostgreSQL configuration
database that had a profile of sorts on all of the hosts it managed.  Putting new hosts on the
network looked like this:

-Add the host to the system.  (command line stanza that included host name, who operated the
host, and who managed the host)
-Create or clone an existing host's profile.  The profile also held software that would be
pushed to the host.  Think Apache plus configs, cron jobs, users, etc.
-Run a command to push software to the host.  (stuff gets pushed over ssh)

That's it.  You could go from a basic OS install to full production in minutes.  Lose a host?
Put a new one there and push the profile.  You're back up in minutes.  Need to put some brand
new software on all your hosts?  Simply make a package, assign it to your hosts, and then push
it out.  Regexes are understood.  

Now, Func appears to cover some of the picture.  For example, it appears to have a bit of
understanding as to what it governs, somewhat like a profile.  What Func can do for restarting
services, we do via something like "hostname_command | parrallel_version_of_ssh
/etc/init.d/httpd restart".

I'm happy to see software like Func out there.  I have already talked to a few higher-ups in
my organization about making our host management system Free Software.  Sadly those in charge
now don't see the value.
