Hey Festers - Let's Build a gPXE Build Server for the Installfest

[Technomage Hawke]

heh,
ok. I use VM's here a lot because I don't have a large number of machines to use anymore. I haven't tried creating a PXE server though. that would be something new. and yeah, I suspect that booting PXE over the internet would not be doable except on a very secure, very fat pipe. :)

anyway, it would be something new for me to learn.
