<div dir="ltr">Probably too late, but will write my opinion anyway:<br><br>I would set up netboot environment that each server is configured to boot from automatically (falling back to harddisk boot).

</div>I haven't tried all the options in the list but as far as my experience goes:<br>
1. G4L wasn't very useable back when we tried it<br>
2. Clonezilla rocks<br>
