great amounts of computers easily?
Like others mentioned, kickstart, ssh access from a central host, and local repos are all excellent ideas.
One more suggestion is to put a startup script on each machine that goes looking for a central script in an NFS mounted directory. Each time a machine boots, it goes out and runs the script... what the script does is up to you! This works especially well if not all the machine will be powered on, and might be skipped over when you use ssh to push commands.
Do we have to say ltsp again? maintaining one system beats maintaining 100.
