i can confirm that before i reached a speed at constant of 100 to 150 mbps, now with changing to ipxe i reach peaks on 600 mbps.
so kevin is right that when transfering big files its a huge change.
the change i see is that before the grapic on the homepage was constant 100 till 150 and now its more spikes but with incredible speed difference.
i think when its deploying an image in which there are as kevin states big files it reaches very high speeds compared to the standard tftp protocol.
by this confirmed

RE: Ubuntu 11.04 distro that "just works" - Here's how
i tried to install a demo install yesterday on vmware workstation 9.
it seems that when you install the 12.04 ubuntu with the script indeed a few errors are made.
i needed to apply both solution above but this did not completly solved the issue.
i also had to set the static ip to my eth0 manualy in /etc/network/interfacesafther that dhcp starts automaticly and clients can pxeboot.
so i can confirm that 12.04 is possible with fog.kind regards

RE: Switching to Gpxelinux
Hi,
My name is christophe and iโm kinda new to all this fog happening.
I tried to follow your guide but canโt get any of it to work.
i have a running configuration in VM on the latest virtualbox.
i installed syslinux 5.10 ( latest version ) and followed your wiki page.
but when i make the changes to gpxe it does not work, the dhcp server keeps booting to tftp, adjusting the links in the bootmenu config file as suggested it simply replies that the file does not excist or its a wrong path.
i tried to acces the files in my internet explorer and it works just fine.
can some help me get my fogserver up and running on http protocol please ? or indicate what i can be doing wrong ?
it seems that when de dhcp starts it denies the http protocol but on the website of syslinux they say it should support http protocol now.help !!!
thnx
