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.
