PXE Server

A PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) server is a network service that allows computers to boot up and load operating systems remotely over a network connection. Instead of using a physical disk or USB drive, a computer can connect to the PXE server during startup, retrieve the necessary files, and begin loading an OS or software. This is especially useful for managing multiple machines, performing installations, or deploying updates efficiently across large networks without manual intervention. Essentially, it acts as a remote boot source, streamlining system setup and management in IT environments.
