You might to start off with Ubuntu JeOS- which is a 100 MB Ubuntu OS
image with no X, but just the bare bone Ubuntu for you and with
apt-get. So, you can install all your reqd. applications and spin off
a ISO [1] from there and install them on all the nodes you want to.

1. Check out Remastersys tool:
