hello,

i've been playing with networking lately (its not one of my stronger points as far as computers go)

and was wondering how i could set up a server, or a hub (probably a server but i'm not sure of networking vocab) that i could use to boot all my computers from...or does the OS have to be installed on the PC and the server can only be used as data storage (like when you save a word document it saves on the network server and not the hard drive of the PC)

XD, sorry if i miss labeled anything or am confusing to understand. when it comes to networking all i know is porting firewalls and plugging in ethernet cables....

You can PXE boot allright.
