Raspberries can boot with netboot. Some folks also say per PXE, but in a strict sense it's not PXE, just netboot.
Anyhow, I own multiple Raspberries and starting with RPi3 they can boot with netboot. I did some evaluation on this and asked for support on the raspberrypi forum in this thread. Who is interested on this topic should read the thread. RonR helped me in the thread with his netboot expertise. In addition he also wrote a nice tool which helps to setup a netboot environment quickly on a Raspberry.

Every Raspberry beginner starts with a NOOBS image, which is listed by raspberry.org first as the suggested image to use (See https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/)
NOOBS allows to start different operating systems which is useful when you want to evaluate the different alternatives to decide which is the right one for you. Unfortunately most of the people continue to use NOOBS when they have decided which OS to use. But that's the point to setup a new image with only one operating system.
Why?

I have an old Raspberry 1B which I want to use to evaluate OpenWrt. I bought two USB32ETH adapters because the RPi1B only has one ETH interface. On following pages I describe the steps I executed to boot the system headless in my home network.

PiShrink is a useful tool to compress backups created with win32diskimager and other windows tools as a full backup to reduce them to a minimum size.
It's a hack and works a lot of time. Unfortunatey there are a lot of situations you get an ugly error message which are created because of missing checks in the code.
