Update re-imaging process #10

An automatic, remote solution would be ideal. @maxschram, can you elaborate on your idea?

More details to come (I have to do more research), but the idea was to have one central disk image sitting on a machine somewhere and use netinstall/netrestore from OSX's X Server application to deploy that image to all of the mac minis over the network. There is an option called multicasting that will allow us to do all of them in one command. We can also schedule that command if we want.

I'll do some more research and try to put together a plan that we can use for a test run over the next couple days.

A few links if anyone wants to read more:
