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.

The latter in particular is really a smart piece of software!

It looks like a wonderful piece of hardware. But as I’m still waiting to receive my Librem5 I think I will at least wait to receive it and the official release of the PinePhone Pro. I think I won’t make preorders soon, even if Pine have been much more timely than Puri.sm
