Realize this is netbooting MacOS, not linux. The server is running linux, but
the client OS is really OS9... Here are some links. I would print the pages
out, because sometimes the sites are down. (I checked, they are currently
up)

It works extrememly efficiently. I have an old PowerMac7250 Server (120mhz)
with a 4 gig SCSI drive and 384MB memory as a server, and it boots 20 clients
well. When all the computers are starting up, it takes about 2 minutes to
get them all running, but that's the big "lag".
In my second netboot lab, I have a PIII 500, with 384MB RAM for a server, and
it's also booting 20 computers just fine. Both servers use 100Mbit cards.
