There's a cool idea. I know OS X can do it, but a very rarely ever hear anyone talk about it. How does it work? Can you do it with OS X Client machines? How do you set it up. I wanna set it up so computer can Netboot off my iBook, as some older machines, especially ones without firewire, can't boot off of my iBook in firewire mode. But all non-beige machines can NetBoot!

It's quite easy, but you'll need a damn fast/good network, OS X Server, and some spare time....

For OS X netbooting, Apple recommends a 100Mb switched network as the minimum with gigabit being the preferred network.
