I'm going to have all of our publictest and test boxes use puppet with

Sounds good. Will puppet allow us to see what's been changed from the
baseline config as well? So that it's easier to tell what things we
need to take with us when we migrate a service from testing to
production?

Yeah, on first run it logs to syslog. In addition it makes a backup of
any file it replaces and stores the file on the puppet server. One
interesting thing to note is package and service requirements. Lets say
I need to deploy nrpe and nagios-plugins on a box so I can monitor it.
If I say that /etc/nrpe.cfg requires nrpe to be installed and running
and that it requires nagios-plugins-disk (to monitor the disk) it will
automatically install them and start them. Which, if used properly, is
a very nice feature.
