I currently have a debian etch installation that I PXE boot on my work laptop. 
It works pretty well, in fact I think the boot times are better because the 
laptop hard drive is slower than reading the data across the network. I'm 
planning to get an EPIA machine and running minimyth in the future (my 
current hardware does not support minimyth), and I guess at that point I'll 
see how the "pre-canned" minimyth solution stacks up. I imagine it's 
advantages in boot speed/size will probably outweigh the advantages of having 
a full suite of packages installed for flexibility.
