For hundrets of machines, using kickstart (and maybe a load-balanced farm of distribution-servers) will beat clonezilla hands down. In fact, I'd say that cobbler was _designed_ for such massive rollouts. I'd use machines with 8 or more GB RAM, so that the whole distribution would fit into RAM after it has been served the first time. I don't know about multicasting - has anybody done multicasting (the "real" ghost can do that) on such a large scale? I imagine that you run out of switch-backplane bandwidth at some point.
