This is a pretty standard set up. This is basically how we ran the school that I built in the early 2000s. The system image was pulled fresh over the network and ran in memory. Very effective.
In the modern world how would you accomplish this? What would you use?
All you need is a PXE capable network interface on the workstations. It's not exactly easy, but very doable for anyone that knows Linux.
So I'm building a pretty robust VM host server to be used as a test environment. Any recommendations as far as a multi-port PXE capable NIC? Not to highjack the thread.
I'd challenge you to find a multi-port NIC that doesn't support PXE! I stick with Intel NIC add in cards when I have the choice, I've had some driver headaches with Broadcom cards over the years. xByte and Stallard Tech are where I'd be looking if I just needed the add in card(s), or the entire server for that matter.
