Some people might like the option of PXE - to me it's just asking for 
trouble. I would only use PXE for the diskless Jukebox machine sitting 
with all the other (quiet) audio gear in the entertainment unit.

Booting from CD ROM is probably the closest I'll get to "diskless".  The 
idea of booting from a CF memory is quite appealing, since the solid 
state ones are available in quite large capacities (256MiB in a solid 
state CF).
