Granted it's not that useful for replicating configurations, but it's a pretty good monitoring solution - I have a couple of machines doing mutual monitoring and sending email alerts when things go down. Nagios might also be good for this, though I haven't played with it personally.
Now that's a bit more significant problem, unless it builds cleanly from source.Plus it has been removed from testing/Etch + unstable ...
