HS Mac lab: what's the lastest best way to do a mass system install?
#8
If it is such a hassle to manage system re-installs, it sounds like shifting to using NetBoot is the way to go. It is my understanding that this would require one Mac OS X Server. All the other Macs would boot up from a Mac OS X netboot image served off of the OS X Server. You would never need to re-install Mac OS X again. Any time one of your Macs is rebooted, it would automatically boot to the image you have on the server. Booting would be a bit slower but of course you rarely need to reboot these anyway, right?

Note that I've only netbooted home-built Linux machines. I'm just throwing this out there as food for thought.
