PXE

What is PXE?

from wikipedia: [[1]] 

"The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE, also known as Pre-Execution Environment; sometimes pronounced "pixie") is an environment   
to boot computers using a network interface independently of data storage devices (like hard disks) or installed operating  
systems."

thats mean you can boot your computers on the network without the need of other boot media (Hard drive/CDROM/USB) PXE usually doesn't use your local storage as hard drives or USB drives, so you can do several tasks from the PXE without affecting your computer (unless you want to).
