Probably pointless to say this since it's probably pretty obvious,
but, all I can think of for what I'd add to what you've specifically
said you'd say about PXELinux would be to tell the people there about
all the real world uses -- how they can use it on their own systems. 
Ok, you're probably already going to do that, but, it's all I can
think to add to the list of what you've told us.
