Hi Robert,
thanks a lot!
I just went over your new wiki page.
I will test it, when I find some time.

Small note concerning problems with NFS v4 in NFS section:
When switching my FAI server from Debian squeeze to wheezy, I had also 
much trouble with NFSv4 (exports, idmapd)...
Finally I got it to work without creating a "dummy directory", I just 
had to give a different fsid to each export:

...
/srv/fai/config 
130.92.143.73/255.255.255.0(fsid=0,async,ro,no_subtree_check)
/srv/fai/nfsroot 
130.92.143.73/255.255.255.0(fsid=1,async,ro,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)
/srv/fai/config_squeeze 
130.92.143.73/255.255.255.0(fsid=2,async,ro,no_subtree_check)
/srv/fai/config_ubuntu 
130.92.143.73/255.255.255.0(fsid=3,async,ro,no_subtree_check)
...

This setup works fine on my wheezy server for squeeze, wheezy and Ubuntu 
trusty clients

Regards
René
