You can, but you don't need an extra nfsroot for each distribution/version. (you'll end up having many nfsroots with many different versions of software in them when you install more than just those two versions, that's one point against many nfsroots). You can apply the principles I described in the wiki for Ubuntu installations, and use the new feature of FAI for multiple base images. I have a server that installs sarge, edgy and Ubuntu breezy from one nfsroot and configspace - more versions to come. In subversion (in the fai-distributions part of people/lazyboy) there is also some example code on how to build different base images without always installing and reinstalling debootstrap for each distribution (as long as debootstrap isn't made more modular). Theres a README that explains most things, I think. I'm currently travelling, but can happily answer all questions regarding this when I'm back end of the week(then I can look at my systems and explain how I made some things that aren't documented).
