$300 pee-cee forget about it. But don't give up on intel hardware just
yet.
IPMI is progress, but for the real deal buy IBM servers and get the RSA
"Remote Supervisor" II card ($700). It does remote access, hardware
video compression over network, reboots, bluescreen/kernel panic capture,
event logging, and much much more. Makes IPMI look like garbage.
Sure, but then that defeats the whole point of a "$300 pee cee". At
that point I might as well spend $4000 on a power server as I'm likely
to be spending $2000 (or so) on the pee cee and $700 on the card and
still only getting a Band-Aid solution.
Side note: does anybody know how the Apple servers handle remote
management and consoles? It's an option that I just don't know anything
about.
