OK.  If you have any available money, I recommend that you pick up Jang's
RHCE guide.
http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Engineer-Linux-Study-Certification/dp/0072264543/ref=sr_1_1

It goes into detail on a lot of this stuff, and if you learn well from
books, it's well worth your time.

Basically, though, you start with a CentOS 5 installation and turn on NFS.
Then, later, when you want to install another system, you choose to do an
"NFS" install and point the new system to your existing NFS server.  That
installs Linux over the wire, and you don't have to deal with CDs or DVDs.
This is how a lot of big businesses do it.

The "Kickstart" bit is basically a configuration file that tells the
installing system what to install.  It's what RedHat uses for their
installations, but if you modify it, you get more options than "server" and
"workstation".  You can have a script that makes a fully functional email
server and the like.  It can attended or unattended.

Other distros have similar functionality, but for now, I'd like to focus on
the RedHat world, as that is the best cert to get to prove competance to
hiring companies.
