Sounds great!
Some possibly related capabilities:
Monitoring: Hardware (e.g. CPU core temperature), resource
utilization (CPU load, swap space, free disk space, network
bandwidth...), security incidents (failed login attempts,
rejected packets, SATAN scans...) all reported remotely.
RAID
mass installs
backups
load sharing/parallel processing
By the way, some of the steps you mention sound useful to blind users
who want to run their systems via a serial link to another computer.
One of the frustrations of that setup is that it's hard to get to the
boot-time messages.
