JB: What were some of the technical issues you encountered? JO: The key thing we found was the performance available on the netbooks. We found that when deploying the image, which is around 8GB in size, the multicast push was slower than we expected as the available CPU and disk I/O caused bottlenecks. No matter how fast we could push the image down the wire, the netbooks could only write that image at a speed which they could handle, so we encountered some quite significant slowdowns. We also ran into power issues caused by attempting to image 500 netbooks at a time.
