I think sending out a completely loaded hard drive is the better way because
I have found that on the 4 hard drives that I have loaded the red hat and
emc files on that all the user really had to do was to install the hard
drive. So far the generic VGA monitor and display seems to work on the 4
different pc that I have done.
The last two only required the mouseconfig to be reset. Other than that it
was really easy for the user to plug in the hard drive and turn on the PC. I
think it takes about 5 minutes for the user to install it.
The only problem I see is if the user wants a custom set up. But for a PC
that is going to be working in a shop environement I don't see why a
dedicated harddrive approach would not work anything but easier than trying
to load it onto a cdrom and still having the same set up problems to deal
with.
The hardware setup would be dictated such as
Pentium 90+
32 Mb of Ram
3.5 floppy
mouse
SVGA multisync monitor
SVGA multisysnc video card
keyboard
1 gig hard drive
