Redhat Linux, Serial console, PXE, Kickstart, Network installation.

Take any subset. :-) We have been deploying Compaq BL-10e machines
(20 servers at a time) using the above system. Time taken to deploy =
30 minutes (all installations running parallel). I didn't even have to
leave my desk. No CDs, floppies etc. to mess around with.

Of course, you need a TFTP, DHCP and NFS server elsewhere on the
network. Above all, you need a network.
