2012-07-23 Thread Tom Huppi
I find it useful in limited situations to run VNC. Mostly to keep a desktop active with a variety of terminals or browsers going and possible to share with multiple users simultaneously. I run it on a headless machine (which does have a video card, though it's never been attached to a monitor.)

I also have very much the same questions about the rackmount availability and battery solutions which might be associated with it. I anticipate purchasing a net6501 for personal use when the rackmount solution is available. (I even have a browser tab to the Soekris cases page open which I refresh
