I've been building all kinds of clusters over the years and we always had
the discussion what should we install on each node, if anything.

This became painfully evident when I wanted to install oscar on a small lab
cluster. This cluster consists of a bunch of 1U rackmounts with no removable
media drives and no video cards. In addition, taking out a machine required
major surgery. (In addition, the BIOS doesn't seem to like USB media).

Anyhow, can you guys give me some pro and con on why I should/shouldn't
always boot over the network.

My ideal configuration always was a netboot with a local disk for a cache FS
and a scratch area.

Thanks,
