[Techtalk] netbooting Linux raid

[Carla Schroder]

Hiya smart peoples,

Can you netboot a Linux RAID array? Suppose you have a four-disk RAID array 
(plus LVM of course), and you have gobs of RAM, so you want the RAID array to 
be 100% data storage. No root filesystem, no /boot, no swap. Can you do this? 
Should you do this? It might not be practical for small networks, since you 
need a bootserver, but I'm thinking it could be useful for larger shops.

thanks!
Carla
