i just looked up quest k2000 and there is no mention of linux at all.
are you looking at changing the whole system and putting linux on it? trying to have microsoft give a tftp linux image?
The K2000 is a "System Deployment Appliance", originally developed by a company named KACE, bought by Dell, and recently sold to Quest.
It's basically for building/scripting and distributing computer images. For example, you buy 100 new Dell computers for your company. You have a standard Windows 10 image you've built, that has MS-Office and Firefox and Chrome and Adobe Creative Cloud and company-emblazoned screen savers, etc. You tell the K2000 to push this image to your 100 new Dells and rename them and add them to the domain, and you're done.
You can do the same for your new Macs, putting test lab images on the 10 Macs headed to the testing lab, developer-friendly images for the 6 coders, presentation-friendly images for the 4 classroom-podium Macs, and the Solitaire-only image for the CEO's MacBook. Push a button; BAM! The Macs are imaged and ready to be delivered.
The K2000 has a PXE boot system built in, so that we can configure our campus-wide DHCP server to feed the K2000's IP address to client computers that are booted to the network; the K2000 then feeds a PXE image of some sort to the client PC/Mac, which is typically a stripped-down Windows BartPE-type image or a slim Mac OS X image, that gives just enough functionality over the network to then run hardware diags or disk partitioners or the imaging process.
It's my understanding that the K2000, although not natively supporting other OSes, can be made to boot pretty much any system image. But it takes tinkering, and although I didn't expect there to be many tinkerers in the world that had the tinkering skill-set to work with both Debian NFS/remote booting and the K2000, I thought if any place would have the expertise it would be debian-user.
Just as a quick recap: I'm looking to have the K2000 offer a Debian NFS/remote X session to Dell PCs when they netboot, so that I can configure some library diskless read-only kiosks allowing library patrons to run a web browser, maybe open a document editor, and print. I could accomplish the Debian kiosk setup by installing on the local drive, but then I'll have multiple machines to maintain, whereas a netboot remote-NFS setup would be a configure-once-configure-everywhere situation, and would remove the necessity of having and imaging the the local drives.
It's okay that no one here knows how; I knew it was a long shot, but thought I'd ask.
