I wasn't quite sure if this qualified as "Show HN" given you can't really download it and try it out. However, dang said[0]:

Hopefully I did that?

Additionally, I've put code and a detailed guide for the netboot computer management setup on GitHub:

Anyway, if this shouldn't have been Show HN, I apologize!

Has anyone done this on smaller scale? Say 4 or 8 stations?

We have space in our basement. And with our kids getting into pre-teen/teen years, I think it'd be fun to have a place for lan parties.

The worst Linus... the one who pretends to understand computers on youtube for a living.
