Your problem would be that you do not want to spend 2 hours on each machine. Learn to use some kind of tool like kickstart or fully-automated-install (FAI) to automate the installation of all the machines except the first one. Basically, the idea is that all the remaining machines are installed in a way like the first one and the installation of these remaining machines is automatic. You can further speed up the installation by making a local copy of all the packages available via the first machine.
