Print out the manual.
It takes awhile to setup/configure.
I use it to maintain 100 lab machines and 5-10 servers.
Works wonderful.
I have dhcp reservations for all the machines, so I can just boot off the
cd and do a complete automated install.
Or I can connect with ssh and do an upgrade from within the image to a
newer version of the image.
Don't use 3.3 yet, as they appear to still be ironing out bugs.
