Hey guys, its been a while. Let me get straight to the point. So basically, I have this linux computer I use as a server to network boot other computers via PXE.
Here's an explanation on how it works:

Right now, I'm using these ASRock motherboards and enabling "Boot over the onboard lan" in the bios. This works fine, however I find myself in need for smaller computers (I basically want to tape the pico computer to the back of the monitor lol) to save space. I've been doing research into Raspberry PIs, Asus' Tinkerboard, and a few other similar products to no avail. Raspberry PIs don't PXE boot and the Tinkerboard won't do it either. I'm basically looking for products of similar size that have the capability to do PXE boot normally. I have also looked at Intel's Minnowboard, but I don't really have my hopes up as there isn't any documentation on it (or videos for that matter) and it's kind of expensive to test and then return if it doesn't work. Here's to hoping you guys can help me because I'm pretty much to the point of dropping the project and dealing with the waste of space. Mini ITXs and Micro ATXs are too big to tape to the back of a monitor as well. Does anyone have an idea?
