They do seem to be able to insert a CD and run its contents.
1. fool proof pxe configurations out of the box in the install of

system-config-netboot or somesuch ? - I've never used it
2. a good syncing file system or backup tool that isn't

- locking
- strong authentication
- success in working over high-latency connections
- doesn't piss off kernel developers by it's mere existence.

Sfs is as close as I've seen.
