I could imagine this being useful for our company. We need to provision the computers we make. Currently somebody runs to them and boots them with a USB stick or via PXE, or we clone the disks. But it gets cumbersome to manage all the sticks, and cloning is difficult if the device is provisioned in a different factory than where it is assembled. PXE is good for managing the images, but we need to connect a keyboard to start the installation (even though most PCs have touchscreens, but PXELinux doesn't support touch AFAIK). (I had the idea to install a panel where you could preselect which image gets sent to which "PXE cable", but we rejected that as too cumbersome.)
It would be great to have a thingedy that you plug in and that can serve one of multiple ISOs to a device. (Even better if it could emulate a keyboard and automatically go into the BIOS to make the right settings, but I guess such a device would be a security hazard...)
