We're in a sort of pre-beta phase now but basically we had Sun servers that we are phasing out and we hope to use Linux as a replacement (so we had all of the boot files already). We installed RH 7.2 and included TFTP. Once we got that working, we copied the boot files to the tftpboot directory. I had a bit of a problem getting the default.hmx right but other than that it was pretty smooth. If you are interested, I'll send you a "working" document that includes most of the info. The main problems that I am running into are related to fonts and colors.
