         Pre-Execution Environment, or PXE, is a techonology that allows computers to boot directly from resources provided over the network.  Installing Fedora over the network means you don't have to create media, and you can install to multiple computers or virtual machine simultaneously.  The process involves a number of components and features working together to provide the resources required.
