tips n tricks:
-if your new to diskless computing and want to test it out, start with CCBoot, it has a good set of tutorials and free for 5 clients.
-OBM server can only have one instance, whereas, CCBoot can have 2 or more servers at a single LAN segment.
-CCBoot, OBM, Richtech, G-Cafe Pro are windows based softwares.
-NXD is linux based
-todo: we'll add more ^_^


--PRO's:
-no disk(s)
-os updates/game updates are done only once on a single client.
-if you add a new unit (with same specs specially the mobo) just plug-in and it will work na [computer name ra basin i-ilis]

--CON's:
-SERVER dies, so as well as all your units
-runs slow in 100M networks (1G recommended)
-generally limited to 1G network
-implementing LACP is too darn expensive [for OCD's only or idiots like me ]
-your NETWORK is the LIMITING factor!
-speed of your client performance is directly proportional to the number of clients accessing the server


GENERALLY, you benefit MAINLY "LESSER" maintenance for diskless.
