 +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 a 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. 
 + 
 +gPXE evolved from Etherboot, and is maintained by the Etherboot project. 
 + 
 +Here you will find various information about the Etherboot Project, and a repository of useful contributions from people who use Etherboot ​and gPXE.  We hope you find this information useful. 
 + 
 +We are always looking for new people to help us improve our projects. ​ We need people who can program, write/edit documentation,​ update websites, and provide help on our [[https://​lists.sourceforge.net/​lists/​listinfo/​etherboot-discuss|Etherboot-Discuss]] and [[https://​lists.sourceforge.net/​lists/​listinfo/​etherboot-developers|Etherboot-Developers]] mailing lists and our IRC channel, #etherboot on irc.freenode.net.
