“FOG is network-based, which means you don?t need to visit each
workstation with bootable media. Clients boot via Intel?s Preboot
eXecution Environment (PXE) and you do most of the work from the
server software?s control panel. The software setup includes a
server based on CentOS 6.2 and a Windows 7 client that you use to
create an image. The server needs enough disk space to hold the
images you plan to deploy, along with a Gigabit Ethernet
card/switch combo and plenty of RAM and processor power. Most, if
not all, of FOG?s functions will also work on a server running
CentOS 5.x, but I tested FOG 0.32 on CentOS 6.2.“Because FOG works by booting its clients over the network, it
offers TFTP, DHCP, and HTTP services. The nice part is you don?t
have to do anything to configure them, as FOG offers a server
installation script that downloads, installs, and sets up the
server packages you need.”
