Etherboot Project creates Open Source software that allows computers to be booted over a network. This is useful in a variety of applications such as schools, banks, clusters, kiosks, and other situations which benefit from centralized administrator and maintainance of OS images. gPXE is our state-of-the-art network bootloader which combines PXE compatibility with features such as HTTP booting and iSCSI and AoE booting.
Please see our Etherboot Project GSoC 2009 main page for details about our students' projects, with links to individual project pages.
Downloadable code written by our 2009 GSoC students is available here.
