Agree with you Jim...
I prefer a KickStart, as it provides some flexability over a ghost image.
I have various KickStart configs depending on the type of machine and
it's purpose. :) It's up and running normally in no time.
I've long given up on ghost... it's just tooo restrictive for creating
a Linux server or workstation... that can vary greatly... and run on a
multitude of platforms/hardware combos.

I was considering putting Cent4 on a ProliantDL380, FC3 installed on that machine but wouldn't boot up, stuck on Grub. I had FC2 on the Proliant but when FC2 went to the 2.6 kernel, it hung up on the Nash prompt. So I ended up putting WBEL on that machine. I'm still evaluating what OS I want to finally put on there. Looks like Centos3 or a BSD.

I can hang with CentOS3 until 2008 as long as the kernel stays with something that works. Has anyone tried RHEL4 or Cent4 on a proliant DL380?
