Would FAI work best or should I look at some scheme for creating a new release ISO instead?I think, as a happy user of FAI, that FAI is a very good tool for what you want to do. It is very fast and extremely flexible. Its downside is that the configuration takes a while and requires skripting skills.
Agreed, FAI is impressive. Quite a hassle to set up if you have specific needs as custom kernels or pre-installing customized passwd/shadow files with md5 support. But once it works it takes a minute or so to get a new box up and running! So it's well worth the initial work you'll have to invest. The FAI mailinglist and esp. Thomas Lange is very helpful. Make sure you check the docs at http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/
