What type or style of cluster are you using? A few good google key words: PXE, diskless, thin clients, nodes Here are a few starter links: http://syslinux.zytor.com/pxe.php http://www.linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html Almost any OS can boot diskless or via a network boot method. Gentoo is a wonderful Linux "flavor" give it a try!
