I had a similar task last week - of installing 130 netbooks, and while I did check out cobbler - especially inspired by Karambir's talk at an ILUGD meet a few months ago - the R&D involved was beyond me. I was taken in with the possibiities of revisor (http://revisor.fedoraunity.org/), but I could not get to see the "categories" : listing packages one-by-one was too painful. My eventual implementation was to install to disk from a system booted through a live USB, and update from a local yum repo. But then I had ten students and a 24port gigabit switch - and it still took two days. And its not Ubuntu :). I did use g4u [1] to clone the hard disk to install the OS on ten computers a year back - successfully. Would recommend using that with DHCP - otherwise you have to do a post install configuration to change the network settings on each machine.
