Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "This tutorial shows how to set up a PXE install server with Ubuntu 6.10. A PXE install server allows your client computers to boot and install a Linux distribution over the network, without the need of burning Linux iso images onto a CD/DVD, boot floppy images, etc. In this article I show how to configure a PXE server that allows you to boot multiple distributions: Ubuntu Edgy/Dapper, Debian Etch/Sarge, Fedora Core 6, CentOS 4.4, OpenSuSE 10.2, and Mandriva 2007."

Letting every admin in your organization share one root password is equally dangerous.

With sudo you can log succesful as well as unsuccsesful attempts, and you can have greater granularity of what each admin is allowed to do.

Just make sure that nobody is allowed to do things like sudo /bin/bash and sudo will be a very useful tool.
