System for rendernodes run from server (PXE)

Hi!

I'm going to buy 3 rendernode PCs. Manager will be installed on my workstation, so no manager on rendernodes (for now). One of rendernode will act as PXE server for other two - only that one will have HDD/SSD. What linux distribution will be best for that solution? It should have possibility to:
- create PXE server
- run Maxwell rendernode
- run TeamViewer and RDP server (for management)
- be really small (maybe LXDE?) both on HDD and in RAM
- include synchronization and backup tools to keep textures/matts fresh (not necessary)

Any suggestions really appreciated!
Best regs.
