- The site reports 0 IP addresses handed out and gives test timings with QEMU and Hyper-V virtual machines identified as the benchmark setup.
Field notes
The described sequence starts with a network boot and a roughly 30 MB Linux environment loaded into RAM, then checks the machine and target disk before deployment. The site says installs can be grouped by department template and watched from a console; its example timings are from virtual machines, and it notes that real hardware adds firmware startup time. It also says the service does not provide DHCP.
