Puppet for making sure that the server has all the dependencies that the app needs. Capistrano for deploying the application when you tell it to. Having been through Cfengine 2 and the birth of Puppet, I'm taking a rest before I look at Chef. Evgeny, I think that you, Andrew and myself all agree on this.

So new I didn't yet have a chance to check it out :) But capistrano is good at what it does, it copies files to a server and runs some commands -- which is what a deployment system supposed to do. Puppet has a whole different purpose, it's more of a "keep it so my servers have consistent behavior and configuration" kind of thing. It's related to deployment, but not deployment itself.
