Abstract
A remote boot system. The system includes a remote server, a first local client terminal and a second local client terminal. The remote server has an operating system, and the first local client terminal downloads the operating system from the remote server. The first local client terminal receives a local server discovery signal sent by the second local client terminal and sends a first response signal in response to the local server discovery signal to the second local client terminal. The second local client terminal downloads the operating system from the first local client terminal in response to the first response signal.
