[GRLUG] How to Custom Image 100 plus laptop

I wonder what the performance or the speed of install on DD would be vs just a custom iso / cd install?

One thing I just realized as we are getting the building ready for this event is that we probably won't have 100 patch cables to connect each machine to a network, so CD or USB flash drives seem to be the media of choice
