Certainly, sir! I'm currently using the altered pxe version. I don't believe I've made any uncommited changes to that, other than actually adding custom entries, but I purposely omitted those to prevent any confusion and to eliminate people using old distributions if/when I forget to update my customizations. The ipxe one is very very-early stage. I'm also playing with the idea of writing from scratch, a fully PHP and sqlite-based solution with authentication and user/machine-based boot options, so I haven't done many alterations to the ipxe variant of your work, and ultimately I might ditch the ipxe-variant. I might look for a way to expand the PHP-ipxe to allow users to use either menu. Meanwhile, I have also been looking into using pxe or ipxe to kickstart a GRUB boot menu because I've used GRUB way more and the menus are "more attractive". So many ideas.
Also, I'd like to say thank you for sharing your project! Very cool!
