DRBL(Diskless Remote Boot in Linux)又名“Penguinzilla”，是与LTSP(Linux Terminal Server Project)功能类似的开源项目，与LTSP不同的是DRBL实现了胖客户机的远程启动，该项目是由台湾人所领导的。Diskless Remote Boot in Linux.
值得一提的是，DRBL对Debian和Ubuntu，以及CentOS都有很好的支持。
DRBL (Diskless Remote Boot in Linux) is free software, open source solution to managing the deployment of the GNU/Linux operating system across many clients. Imagine the time required to install GNU/Linux on 40, 30, or even 10 client machines individually! DRBL allows for the configuration all of your client computers by installing just one server (remember, not just any virtual private server) machine.
DRBL provides a diskless or systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS and SuSE. DRBL uses distributed hardware resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partitioning and disk cloning utility similar to True Image® or Norton Ghost®.
