PXE server

Just wanted to throw this out there as an idea for a new feature. I guess 
probably its not a good idea for security reasons and would bring IPcop out 
of its
comfort zone as a pure firewall.

Reason I am looking at PXE is I always wondered how it works for a long time 
and just started trying it out. I have an older Pentium3 32 bit machine 
laying around doing nothing, and I downloaded Debian8 to try on it, but I 
believe the dl is corrupted as the cd rom gives errors and even with a new 
cdrom drive, it still wont complete the software part of the install, so I 
thought I would try the pxe boot thing with it.

I'm using Windows vista right now, and I tried serva64 app, and it seemed to 
find the boot image and try to load it but it hangs. Still not sure if I am 
setting it up right or I guess I have to choke it up and admit the i386 dl 
of Debian is corrupt. I know this is sorta OT but would anyone know a link 
to a good i386 dl of Debian8?

Also was curious if anyone has messed around w/ pxe on a Linux system, and 
what are the best ones to run ?
