The tipping point for me was setting up the infrastructure to network boot my Pis. Now it's trivial for me to plug in a Pi anywhere on the LAN, and even switch what OS it is booting into just by changing a symlink on my fileserver. It's now very easy to experiment with different things, and not worry about the cards dying.

This has been on my TODO list for a while. But first I need to set up another Pi to be the PXE server... :)

It doesn't need to be another Pi, of course.

Googling Raspberry Pi Network Boot will return the official documentation - it's a built in feature of the Pi boot rom.
