I can't say much about the RH pxe thing, AFAIK this is really old.

In short you can boot linux on almost all pxe enabled clients with 
pxelinux (btw: 1.67 is the latest version). The only exception is really
old roms (pre-1998, e.g. the Intel Lanmanager 0.99X series). In the latest
pxelinux version there's also 'memdisk', with this you can even boot
floppy images over the net.

See the website for more information.

Regards,

Josef
