[Grml] Network booting, Terminal Server or PXE

[T o n g]

Hi Mika, 

Just out of curiosity, how do you compare Terminal Server and PXE? 

I knew the term "Terminal Server" when I knew grml, and only within the 
grml community. The outside world seems to be interested in PXE instead.
So I like to know the reason behind why grml chose Terminal Server over 
PXE. 

Here are the homeworks I've done:

The only "Terminal Server" I found on the web seems to related with 
KNOPPIX

http://www.knoppix.net/wiki/KNOPPIX_Terminal_Server

But the original author of the wiki document, Rjent, has moved his 
efforts to working on something else.

PXE is backed by Intel and is part of Intels(tm) Wired for Management 
(WfM)

The Linux Magazine has written a good article about 'Network Booting'

in which Tim recommended PXE.

Thanks

PS. For those PC that has Network booting built-in capability in ROM, are 
they booting PXE or Terminal Server or something else?

PPS. The reason that I'm asking, its very easy to test PXE booting in 
KVM...
