There doesn't seem to be a question therein, but I don't think this 
mailing list is required to only include question-and-response 
interactions. I value Bryan's comments, especially because it might help 
unattended users avoid becoming foaming at the mouth image-haters. I 
know I've started down that path in recent times, and appreciated this 
counterexample. UIU sounds pretty neat.

My impression from this plus my own experience with both imaging and 
scripted installs (for want of a better generic description for tools 
like RIS or unattended), is that either can work beautifully or poorly, 
depending on needs and skill in setup. In each situation, one should be 
chosen where it is most appropriate. Some serious effort is involved in 
automation, but that's the whole point: Ease the long term repetitive 
and time-consuming pain by putting in the work up front. Pro-active 
versus reactive blah blah - pretty typical sysadmin rhetoric.

Cheers,
Greg.
