Cool, I particularly like the network booting. This gives Windows an 'easy and quick to configure' bonus over Linux which I won't deny. If you are setting up even a moderate sized farm and/or are just looking for maximum profit (and your time is valuable) then this could be a good choice.

However, it may well be that one can achieve better MH/s or MH/J in Linux and I think there are a few people on these forums who value the extra MH/s more than the 2-3 hours time configuring the miner. Indeed I doubt I'm alone in actually enjoying the configuration and tweaking.

I've put together my own PXE setup for my Linux mining rig as a proof of concept. If there's demand, I'll develop it further and release it.

If it was nice and easy to setup and use, I would definatly be interested. I would like to build a few diskless mining rigs and a central server. Make it easy to push different images or configurations on the fly, central control and monitoring of all the mining clients. But hopefully easy enough that someone with just basic linux (ubuntu) knowledge like me can get it going. Would be nice if it could handle installing the driver/sdk/python, and maybe even the miner software itself. I had much difficulty getting my rig mining with linux..

This is indeed exactly what I was thinking about. I'll put something together in the next few days; stay tuned for an announcement (in a new thread!).

This has got me thinking. LinuxCoin 0.2.1b is capable of distributing its filesystem via http to the PXE clients. What about if we code a nice db driven front end using php ? Would be simple and easy to setup.
