What is the difference between PXE and Etherboot/gPXE?

Both PXE and Etherboot/gPXE allow the Thin Client to boot from a DHCP server via your local network. PXE is proprietary software typically included in most network cards sold today. Etherboot/gPXE is very similiar to PXE, except it is an open source project, therefore, the software is free. Etherboot/gPXE also has some other inherit benefits like supporting other boot methods aside from TFTP and scripting. Learn more about Etherboot/gPxe.
