    Gigabit, standard on most macs: 16 seconds. Even with overhead, 60 seconds max. Still, I agree that it's kinda useless today, and hopefully for a good long time.

    universities and other institutions with multimedia classes can easily have netboot images over 2GB.

    generally, you'll need to reboot for any update that touches the kernel or a key process (like sendmail, even if you aren't running it). It kinda sucks, but presumably Apple will eventually figure out the magic of stopping and restarting services...
