Boot on LAN?

Not sure what you mean by "boot on lan". Are you talking about wake-on-lan or network booting? Wake-on-lan enables you to turn on a computer remotely, over the network. Network booting allows the client computer to pull a boot image off a boot server and boot that image locally.

networking booting

It does exactly what jpmkm says it does. It allows you to set the machine up to boot from an OS image that resides on a server. It's generally used for diskless workstations.

Yes. Any OS that can serve the image(s) up via tftp will suffice.
