hi,
my company used it to clone cluster nodes. very fast and efficient way to
duplicate linux installation as opposed to the old "dd" way. a 600+ MB
installation takes around 3-4 minutes on a fast ether backbone.
basically, you setup a golden client and put that image on the image server.
multiple images can be on the server, then you create a boot floppy for that
image and use it to duplicate installation.
On paper, it can do network booting and setup, but I have never tried it.
note: It is useful for system backups too, since you can store a system
snapshot on a server.
regards,
Boon Kiat
