Aargh. This was a long rant about Yet Another Linux Lab from 1996 till now,
except the interesting parts in the middle somehow vanished. "I should have used the preview button again";-)
Too tired now, most of the links are still there... 50 ramdisk/nfsroot-clients off p200, 200 off dual-p3 yadda yadda...
As has been pointed out, there are many successful projects using
remotely-booted or individually installed computers, a
pro-bono student project
is now obsolete,
but it probably contributed its share in establishing acceptance
for free software at TU Wien: the
project substituting it
(LIZ) is a linux-only solution, it is now impossible to boot windows -
compatibility for the terminally addicted is provided via a
Citrix Metaframe server farm.
