In no company that I have worked in has this been the case. When Windows
needed to be installed someone had to sit in front of each machine and click
of all the OK boxes and fill in any info it asks for. RedHat has Kickstart
which is quite nice. We use it and general ftp install to load all of our
Linux boxes.

This is Linux Country. On a quiet night, you can hear Windows NT reboot!
