I'll startoff by giving a quick breif of a project Ive been asked to do:

As a company we have about 60 operators in a department handling calls for a call 
centre, 
which they are all currently running NT, what I want to do, is replace all of those to 
run 
RedHat.

But what I want to do is not have a hard disk (or only a small one if needed), so 
everything 
is kept in memory or a ramdisk to allow them to boot from off a cdrom only, and then 
have 
access to say sawfish, which will only allow them to use say Mozilla,Gcalc, and Gedit 
and 
access a remote share using samba where they can write any data they wish to save.

This will totally lock them down to what they can use and ease maintanence, so any 
problems, they just reboot and they are backup and running.

The network info will be using dhcp to obtain the network info they require.

This as Ive read will require kickstart to duplicate the install for every machine and 
also I 
will have to patch grub (to use the company Logo) and sawfish, this I know can be done 
using kickstart (after reading the man pages), then make a bootable cdrom that can be 
used in each machine

I know this can (hopefully) be done (as Ive seen it with firewalls)
Could anyone possably give me any help or links where I can get any help/Info on this

regards

Mark
