It might be what you're looking for. It requires the hardware to be basically identical across machines. Once you set up the server, which is a significant task, cloning the master client onto the other clients is a cinch, involving putting the automatically-generated floppy disk into the disk drive and turning on the computer. I wrote a setup guide for SystemImager a few months ago. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost it :-(.
