Yep. This is the ILUG list, no ? I want to see a *necessary* product that
specifies 'the server must be a penguin' ;)
The docs explicitly specify that NT can be used as server. I have been
lurking on that list for a few months now, and lots of people use it to
boot diskless machines, including 286's, with DOS, and better machines for
L95, and Linux.
There are sources for third party DHCP servers for NT quoted in the list
archive and lots of good advice from the authors and users.
I have gone over the docs there and at etherboot yesterday and there is at
least one automatic load sharing scheme based on this, that does Linux
(Beowulf) RH.
Lots of people have removed older 486s and other oddities from cupboards
and installed the package, to have 'silent' diskless X terminals.
