That's a task complex enough for a single mail. Assuming you care
primarily about RedHat / Fedora systems, have a look to
http://cobbler.et.redhat.com/ which probably covers aspect that you
didn't even think about. It's quite functional and a very good
starting point to research on the internals

To read about, there is an article on redhat magazine that might be good :
