Need help setting hadoop cluster in college Lab

For my final year project i am required to set up a small hadoop cluster in my college lab. I have previously worked on hadoop but only in pseudo cluster. Now the task ahead of us is to install ubuntu in all the computers we have and then set up hadoop in each one of them . I am planning to do this using a custom iso of hadoop user in ubuntu 12.04.

What i am thinking of doing 1. Install the ISO in all the systems. 2. If 1 is done correctly then move to configuring hadoop on each system but this is tricky as all the ip of the lab computers are dynamic and keep changing . So is there any way i can bind the mac address of these pc and whenever these mac addresses come up master node can include them in cluster.

I am having a lot of uncertainties like

1.Is there a better way to do this. By automating some parts of this? 2. Am i better off using virtual box & hadoop iso in each machine ? 3. I am having some experience in hadoop 1 but hadoop 2 is out now so should i use hadoop 2 or should i go with hadoop 1.

Any suggestions? How should i proceed?
