I just got a PXE enabled ethernet card. What cool things can I do with PXE ? I have FC3 on my server.
:-)
Network-install Fedora, RHEL, Debian (maybe - I think the new installer works, boot-floppies never worked for me).
Boot DOS off your Linux server, Maybe handy for flashing BIOS.
If you like the idea of attaching a laptop to a switch, then turning on a brace of bare machines and having them all instantly equipped with Linux, PXE is good for you.
If you're like my wife (she thinks email is a chore and hasn't discovered Mozilla or Firefox yet), it's not so great.
