Not to diverge this conversation, but has anyone had any experience using this pxe boot / nfs model with a rhel variant? I have been wanting to do a nfs root or ramdisk model for some-time but our software stack requires a rhel base so Scyld and Perceus most likely will not work (although I am still looking into both of them to make sure)

Thanks for any help,
Eric Shook

I agree with what Joe says about a few hundred nodes being the time you would start to look closer at this approach.

I have started to explore the possibility of using this technology because I 
would really like to see us with the ability to change OSs and OS Personalities 
as needed.  The question I have is with 2000+ compute nodes what kind of 
infrastructure do I need to support this?
