All,

Trying to set up a PXE boot solution in a lab environment instead of
rebuilding *nix systems repeatedly.

I have a few questions, below.

- are there any good PXE servers out there? I'm looking for something
with an easy-to-use front-end that I can use to easily deploy and
build new Linux "deployment" I want to boot via PXE

- what is gPXE all about? I hear it's better (supports boot-from-http,
etc.), but I haven't seen any concrete examples on how to set up a
gPXE Linux boot

Any thoughts / ideas appreciated.
