Deploying scripts and tools to production
qhoxie: I have two tools that I am extremely happy with and use regularly to deal with these sorts of scenarios:Capistrano - http://www.capify.orgPuppet - http://reductivelabs.com/trac/puppetThey may not be completely fitting depending on what you are doing, and they both require some understanding of Ruby.  In general, though, these tools have proved invaluable for me.
