I was excited to read the linked article, but each micro-step of the process requires a full page load. I understand that sites generate revenue via advertisements, but there comes a point when the amount-of-information-provided vs number-of-page-loads becomes unacceptable and condescending. It is not possible to load the printable version of the article without registering with the site, so I see no method of gleaning the knowledge contained within the article in a less obnoxious fashion other than to skip to the author's list of references on the final page, which is what I intend to do.

Or, you could look at the top of the page where it says "View all steps on one page". It links to this URL: http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Your-Regular-Mac-a-NetBoot-Server!/?ALLSTEPS

This is an excellent hint; as Kirk mentions, it's a good weekend project for those who want to do it "just because" they can. It's always neat when people discover how to implement Mac OS X Server functionality with the standard version.

But on the other hand, anyone who is going to implement a NetBoot lab (a school, university, etc.) is probably going to have the funds to get an XServe or two (or a few dozen) and implement it the easy way--via the GUI tools in OS X Server. I don't see anyone NetBooting on their home LAN for any practical reason.
