That is my understanding to date. Update on pilot project - I have installed Edubuntu on the server and have two laptops network booting (isn't it sweet when things just fall into place!). I have yet to configure the second network card to give web access
I'm coming the other way :-) , the server accesses the internet happily and now it has two LAN cards I think I got the second one set with a static IP OK so now to try the DHCP angle.
as I have been reading up on how to network boot from floppy/cd as we have a stack of twenty older machines that do not have network boot capability.
are their LAN interfaces on the motherboard ? I'm wondering if anything can be added via that empty socket one sometimes sees on the PCI NICs ie a boot ROM ?
