What do you see "remotely manage them" covering? For a small
heterogenous network, it's not clear what you would save over just
sticking the config files into CVS or similar.

or, even better, something to get these
disparate hardwares to be able to work together, and (as much as possible)
to be able to share work.

Again, what do you mean by "share work"? Are you looking for
something like beowulf?
