-===== Etherboot additional features ===== +gPXE is an open source (GPL) network ​bootloader. ​ It provides a direct replacement for proprietary PXE ROMs, with many extra features such as DNS, HTTP, iSCSI, etc.  Take look at our [[:​screenshots|Screenshots]] page and the [[:​howtos|HowTo Guides]] for some ideas of what we can do, and grab the code from our [[:​download|Download]] page.
-Etherboot main function ​is to network ​boot PC.+
  
-Besidesthere are quite some optional features that can be added by compiling them into Etherboot:+gPXE evolved from Etherbootand is maintained ​by the Etherboot ​project.
