Hi, I found some infos here : http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6149.msg36988#msg36988 I understood that the EEE Box can boot on PXE (this option exists on the BIOS : http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=5929.msg35861#msg35861) but there 's a problem with the NIC Realtek (RTL8169 NIC chip) that can be solved under LinuxMCE (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Unrecognized_NIC). Maybe is that problem solved with the new kernels ?
Using the EEE Box as a thin client is a solution that seems to me more and more interesting. Have you some advices to give me ?
