PXE: Not Just for Server Networks Anymore! In the April 2008 issue of Linux Journal, Kyle Rankin's article “PXE Magic” explains how PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) works and how you can install your own PXE server and integrate rescue tools like Knoppix along with a PXE-capable Kickstart installation.
I've used much of Kyle's PXE Magic before (he and I worked together in a previous life), but recently I found myself managing not only a network of Linux servers, but also the entire LAN, encompassing Ubuntu laptops, desktops and servers, along with Windows laptops, desktops and servers. I found myself imagineering a PXE server that would not only allow me to kickstart servers and boot rescue tools off the network, but that also could provide a temporary environment for my users in the event that their computers broke. In my mind, the Holy Grail of this PXE server even would be able to install Windows machines via the network.
