Basic concept: Your Qubes OS installation sits on another computer with the PXE server software. You can then have as many client computers as you want PXE network boot from this RAM-based Qubes OS using only their network connection and no drives needed to boot from. Your client computers reboot to a 100% clean Qubes OS state each time. Scales to many client computers at once.
