[Cialug] Neat Tool: ROM-o-matic.net

I've been refreshing my LTSP-based music system at home.  As part of the
testing, I needed one more thin client than I had, and the extra box I
had did not support PXE booting natively.

After a fair amount of googling, I stumbled across
http://rom-o-matic.net/

Basically, you can follow the gPXE link, enter the information that
matches your card, and generate an image (cd, floppy, usb, etc) that
will boot, recognize the card and then flip you into a PXE boot session.
 It also gives you the ability to flash ROMs as well as some pretty cool
command line tools to use for debugging various issues.

I wanted to mention it here in case anyone else might be interested.
