Glad you mentioned it...

After 1.0 is released, I am intending to write a very long/detailed 
PDF/manual on datacenter deployment using Cobbler that will cover all of 
this. PXE, Virt, various strategies rolling up all of the existing 
documentation, etc. I intend for it to be CC-licensed and aimed right at 
that kind of thing.

That will likely be sometime toward the middle of this year.
