Too bad they don't all have the same hardware.
If they did, you could simply install it on one box, image the hard drive to a CD, then go from machine to machine restoring the image to each one. With different hardware, I'm not sure this will be an easy task to automate.
Someone with more experience than me will have to step in here. Sorry...

You could check out the "kickstart" option available through Red Hat, but I'm not sure how well it would work for you:
