Alright, first, some background for ya....

I have 3 computers in the house.

All capable of running Xubuntu.

But, I only want to install it on one computer, and have the other 2 boot the desktop from said installed computer.

I can have SLAX boot up as a PXE server, but I don't want to use the CDROM, and I prefer Xubuntu over SLAX anyway.

I don't want to install it on the other computers, as they run Windows, and don't want to set up dual booting either. One computer I'm doing this to as a prank. I'm going to set up his computer to boot over the network while he is gone, and have this computer boot from said installed Xubuntu. That way, he can restart all he wants, he won't be getting to his Windows unless he knows what he is doing (and the guy can't even install Windows without my assistance lol)

Understand what I'm asking, or did I confuse you like I did myself?
