Good to have some more people tell this!

When this decision was made, I heavily disagreed, but no one believed me
that people are using FAI like this (even though other reports in
launcpad confirm this type of usage)

That might probably work - when I tried, it was even very easy to use
fai-client on rpm-based systems!

Still, it would be simpler if fai-client could be installed without
special apt settings.
