but you have to be very careful with having servers set to PXE boot 
system by default. All it takes is a very aggressive kickstart setup 
slightly misconfigured system to have your entire VMware server stack 
get reloaded with Fedora :-)

But for cluster nodes, works just fine. Take a look into GEDI as well, 
unfortunately hosted at sourceforge.net.

Works like a charm. of course, you can do the same thing with cobbler as 
well if you want to build the infrastructure yourself.
