Cobbler is a network install server. Cobbler supports PXE, virtualized installs, and reinstalling existing Linux machines. The last two modes use a helper tool, 'koan', that integrates with cobbler. Cobbler's advanced features include importing distributions from DVDs and rsync mirrors, kickstart templating, integrated yum mirroring, and built-in DHCP/DNS Management. Cobbler has a Python and XMLRPC API for integration with other applications. There is also a web interface.

This is a nice GUI for network installs. Unfortunately, the daemons don't start in LinuxMint. This is because it is doing some logic based on the contents of /etc/lsb-release, but it doesn't know what to do when it finds 'DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint'. To resolve the issue edit line 1007 of /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cobbler/utils.py and make the check_dist() function return "ubuntu". Then run 'sudo service cobbler start'.
