* Is based on two methods of accessing a client computer: First, a network boot with a Linux image, that can e.g. be used for preparing a OS installation, or saving and restoring a partition. Second, a boot of the installed OS, in which a service is implanted. This service triggers the execution of install processes or other scripts. These processes are controlled by SSL-requests to the "opsi configuration service" which runs on the opsi server.
