Yup.
Cobbler is the way to go.

Yes, probably.
I thought of setting up a PXE+TFTP-server and the rest of the 
infrastructure by hand, but after I found cobbler, I never looked back.
In fact, it's the tool I have been looking for for years (OK, I'm 
actually looking for something that can provision Linux, Windows, 
FreeBSD and Solaris - but cobbler is a good start ;-))) )
