Using FAI (Fully Automatic Install) or TFTP, Debian technically doesn't
even need a floppy (or you can use a single floppy)

If I had time it would be cool to setup FAI on a box and bring it to do a
few installs, to show administrators how easy it is to push Debian to
desktops consistently.  (though in most cases I think LTSP is sufficent
where conformity is needed)

OpenBSD is nice though.
