In general I've found pxe to work well.  One word of caution, though.
There is a problem with 5501's failing to detect CF cards some of the
time, especially on reboots.  This has bit a number of people, including
me this last weekend.  For low volume you might want to stick to 4801's,
although they are getting harder to find.  If you need a 5501 you might
want to wait for the next BIOS upgrade.
