Hello folks,
I would like to create several Ubuntu Server's around campus that provide Netboot services for multicast ASR restore and afp restore. Essentially, I would like to avoid having to use a CD to boot up mac's in the labs or faculty / staff offices while not purchasing 12 copies of OS X Server to do this single function across multiple subnets. I've done a little searching and see a good information page at passwall (http://mike.passwall.com/macnc/) which has some good details that are a little dated and not specifically for ubuntu. The details are on this (http://mike.passwall.com/macnc/macosxs.html) link.
I also haven't seen any substantive posts or how-to's. Before I delve into figuring this out myself I would like to know if any of you out there are doing this, have done this, or are so inclined to try it out :)
I just found this post on afp548: http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=20061220102102611 and will give it a shot as it's closer to ubuntu then the previous link.
Thanks!
