-You will need a network card on the diskless client that uses the PXE protocol
-to boot, like many 3com cards. You will also need a BIOS that supports booting
-from PXE.
+PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) is a method for booting computers over
+a PXE-capable network interface (and using a PXE-supporting BIOS). It is
+also supported as a boot method from block devices (like CDs or USBs) in
+case the system does not support PXE boot from the network interface or
+BIOS. In such cases, a minimal boot environment mimics the PXE supporting
+network card (see also <uri link="http://etherboot.org">Etherboot/gPXE</uri>).
