This "technology" is not anywhere near to being new.  It has been around
for years and is well tested.  You can also just use a cdrom to install it
and then rip it out after if you are that paranoid, or just put physical
security measures in place like I mentioned above.
I can install Red Hat faster over the network than from CD any day. CD's are not that fast of a media even with the current 52x readers. Also we have a script that updates the install files so that when we do an install Red Hat, It is current without adding updates since it's release.
