[code] sudo apt-get -f install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa: http://gyazo.com/624121cc83380b50b924d864afc966e8
sudo apt-get update runs okay with some errors as expected
sudo apt-get purge tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa: http://gyazo.com/9f9e05815d9b935f205bb276783ef40f

I know it’s not optimal, but I would highly recommend reinstalling OS at this point. While I’d love to keep digging to figure out exactly what it will take to fix this, it’s been FAR too long I think.

What is the best operating system to use for FOG in your opinion?

Debian

Make a copy of your /images folder. And export your current database from fog to a flash drive. This will allow us to keep your database and image files to alleviate the stress of setting up a new server

There is really no “best” OS. I prefer CentOS, but again that’s a matter of preference rather than “the best”. You could try Debian 7.5 for familiarities sake as you’re probably more familiar with Ubuntu style commands.

Alright I am currently installing Debian 7.5 on a physical machine (before we had ubuntu on an esxi server). Shall I follow the same instructions as the Ubuntu tutorial?

That will work yes. Ubuntu is derived from Debain. They use the same base so the commands are similar.

Alright, thanks for all the help from everyone! I’ll start a new thread if I run into issues with this install.

We got the new server up and running! Out of curiosity I did “do-release-upgrade” on the old server and it offered to overwrite tftpd-hpa during the upgrade, now we have two working FOG servers! Thanks again to everyone!

Well Congratz lol!
