I have a network of XP Pro machines at one site (the one I'm working from today, actually), and that was the only network booting option they could use. This presented a problem, because most machines didn't have CD drives, and had no operating systems. I tried to do a Samba install of XP, using nanobox as a temporary OS on the PCs, to connect to our Linux Samba server, but nanobox would not boot on the PCs. Thus, I ended up having to carry a CD drive to each machine, and having only two or three working CD drives on site that day, this took quite a while. It would have been a lot quicker, if Linux could have served the files via PXE.
