Ansible, Bcfg2, Chef, Cobbler, Puppet, and Salt; I notice that
Spacewalk is not mentioned. Any particular reason that it gets no
recommendations?
What about CFEngine? Any comments on this one?

don't forget you can define PXE config files based on the IP, IP range

Tom: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into those tools.
Mark: Yes, they are using pxeboot. Right now when they boot up, the pxe
