Another way to come at a "Diskless" machine nowadays is just to install Fedora on a USB stick (2GB will do fine) and use a common network filesystem. That significantly reduces what is expected of the server box down to just pushing files around on demand. Updating the USB images could be a drawback if you have many boxes, but if you have a network /home and no client-specific data on the stick, you can just nuke the sticks with a new image now and then. There's a bunch of ways to split the client-local -ness of the deal with the server. With the "dual-channel" USB sticks the general client performance is really good at no cost to the server. -Andy
