Use clustershh (cssh) or pydsh to manage your Linux boxes from the one
machine, you don't need to ssh to every machine when you have these tools
installed, they do it for you. cssh does parallel ssh, while pydsh is more of
a "run this command on multiple hosts".

These tools certainly makes my life a million times easier as a sysadmin.
