   * Allow gPXE to run as a user-mode application under Linux. Obviously network card drivers would be difficult to test in this environment,​ but most other parts of gPXE could be run in an environment with built-in memory protection and useful tools like ''​valgrind''​ easily available. The cleanest way to do this would be to create another x86 "​platform",​ alongside the existing PC-BIOS and EFI, that performs low-level Linux system calls to perform platform-specific operations. A Linux kernel module could be used to enable DMA for testing network card drivers. The prospective implementor would need a fair amount of low-level Linux kernel experience.   * Allow gPXE to run as a user-mode application under Linux.

-:-/ Rom-O-Matic is the web / graphical fronted to creating Etherboot & gPXE roms, there are several things that need to be worked on within the code base to make it better & more user friendly 
- 
-  * Updating and merging of the new configuration file reading code originally done by John '​Warthog9'​ Hawley 
-  * Updating configuration files to include, inline, syntax information hints for things like R.O.M. 
-  * Trivial ROM creation based on relative place in gPXE source tree 
-  * User Interface clean-ups 
- 
-Knowledge of gPXE building & configuration,​ ability to read and understand C and programing in PHP are required.
