Are your machines PXE enabled? What type or style of cluster are you |
| 4 |
using? |

A few good google key words: PXE, diskless, thin clients, nodes |

Here are a few starter links: |

Almost any OS can boot diskless or via a network boot method. Gentoo |

is a wonderful Linux "flavor" give it a try! |

Hope this helps, |
