For awhile we used Ghostcast over PXE from a RIS server, but it was a pain
to keep the ghostcastserver running with multiple sessions all the time.
Automating it was not fun and we never got it to work properly.  At the
moment we run RIS, Windows PE and ghost32 and it is much smoother and with
far less driver problems. PE supports Kerberos authenticating. I wouldn't
do this unless your internal network is 100 mbit or higher.
