Hi
Are your machines PXE enabled? What type or style of cluster are you
using?
A few good google key words: PXE, diskless, thin clients, nodes
Here are a few starter links:
http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.phphttp://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.htmlAlmost any OS can boot diskless or via a network boot method. Gentoo
is a wonderful Linux "flavor" give it a try!
Hope this helps,
George
