FAI (Fully Automatic Installation)
FAI is a tool for unattended mass deployment of Linux. It's a system to install and configure Linux systems and software packages on computers as well as virtual machines, from small labs to large-scale infrastructures like clusters and virtual environments. You can take one or more virgin PC's, turn on the power, and after a few minutes, the systems are installed, and completely configured to your exact needs, without any interaction necessary.
FAI can create custom disk images used by virtual machines. It also creates custom install or live images, for e.g. using the FAI.me build service. Using FAI, it's possible to create an isntallaion ISO for Debian stable but using a newer kernel from Debian backports. This can't be done using the default Debian installer.
Motto: Plan your installation, and FAI installs your plan.
