I'd like to dredge up this idea again. I know it's possible because I've done it before. The blades we've bought today all have PXE enabled NIC's, so implementation should be possible without any new hardware.
The idea would be to build diskless blades that, using PXE boot, would grab their OS and application image from a PXE server - another blade with disk.
Anyone with recent experience doing this that can provide facts?

I knew that you could do this with F@H and Seti. I thought they were still trying to get it to work with TSC.
That would save money on HD's if this could be done.

I've talked to Pinhead from F@H and he's given me some insight that would help us on those installations using linux. Most of us, however, are using Windows. We'll have to keep digging.
