I think this means it will work
im not too sure though

First of all it should support PXE to boot from the tftp server.

So that should mean I can Use a tiny mac mini as a media detector

Not to sound mean, but if you know nothing about linux then this is NOT the software for you.  Even if you do know linux, I'd still say this is not the software for you.  Please see all the other comments about how much a nightmare this software is.

If this software is such a nightmare why do you post on all the forums?

I have been reading around and found this:

Boot key combinations:
N : Netboot (New World ROM machines only) - Looks for BOOTP or TFTP Server on the network to boot from.

Do you know if there will be a bootp or tftp server on my network?
if so then this should be what I'm looking for right?

What I also wanted to know is sether if I install linux mce on both machines, will they still share things?
I was under the impression they didn't.
if they did could i install onto an external hard drive and tell the mac to always boot off that?
