Hi. We have some Linux servers, and we want to build a new computer lab. We basically have two choices:
1. Install NT on all of them, and work with Xceed. 2. Install a dual boot Linux/NT on them. I'd like it to be the dual boot (If it was up to me, we wouldn't put the NTs at all...) I have one question, though, NT has an option to be installed and configured from the network (I don't mean installing via NFS, but actually get all the installation profile form the network, including the installed programs and conf. files (Of course the administrator has to give the ip and host name)). Is there such an option for Linux? If there is it will be much easier to convince my boss to make the systems dual boots. I can put a main /usr partition on our RAID, and just copy the /etc directory. But even in this way I'll have to change the ip and hostname manually for every computer. I want the students to be able to work locally on the Linux machines, and might add a third boot option to run XDM, connect to our chooser and work from the servers. TIA, Liran. --- http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~liranz/
