Maybe someone can have a look at that, some part of DRBL are similar to this Stateless Linux project.
DRBL runs well on RedHat, Fedora, Mandrake and Debian.
In Taiwan, more than 100 sites already downloaded and run DRBL, some of them are schools (Primary/High school/University), some of them are NPO and buisness companies.

Also, there is a program comes with DRBL called "Clonezilla". It can let people to massively clone the system image to the harddisk of client computers. The function of clonezilla is quite similar to the Symantec Ghost Corporate EditionÂ. For more information about clonezilla, check this:

Hi,
Red Hat engineering is starting a new project we're calling "stateless Linux" for lack of a better name - some components of this are already in Rawhide, and others will be appearing shortly.
We've been keeping the project a little bit quiet at first, but now we've written it up in some detail:
- an overview document, available from http://people.redhat.com/~hp/stateless/
- a HOWTO document and a couple associated RPMs, available from http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/stateless/
There aren't many new RPMs for this, because stateless Linux isn't a single codebase or package, it's a set of changes across the distribution (you might think of it as a "philosophy"). Most of the changes are already in Rawhide (the highlights are mentioned in the StatelessLinux.pdf document).
Appreciate feedback, especially from anyone who has time to try out the HOWTO. We expect the code to change quite a bit as issues and suggestions come in.
It looks very promising, and reminds in part of fai, the Debian installer with centralised (and CVS managed) host configuration. Could some parts of fai (like the class based configuration file repository) be taken over?
