Joel,
As a Pundit-R user myself I've done some reading about its various
capabilities, and I think the answer to both of these questions is NO:
i) the NIC does not support PXE
ii) the ENE cardreader is still not supported under Linux AFAICT, and
as it is PCI-based does not support booting anyhow. I think you'd need
a CF to IDE adapter to enable booting of the CF card.
I've not seen problems with the DVI output (however not tested under
Linux myself) but getting the TV-Out working is a right PITA still ...
You may want to also consider looking at EPIA based frontends -
smaller than the Pundit-R and ideal as a frontend if the backend is
elsewhere.
