Gosh, no I didn't. Sorry for that. There wasn't anything personal or private in this thread, so I hope nobody will mind...

The point is to have a system so that manufacturers can write "this system supports Debian". If they don't want to do the work, we could, and help each other by having a list of hardware that is known to work with Debian, and a list of hardware with issues. If they do, it's best, and IMHO we should help. Finally, I believe we should have a central point on Debian's website so that this can happen. Maybe a wiki page might be a good start, until we setup something better. >>> are you aware that all of the supermicro motherboards with built-in >>> KVM-over-IP functionality provide that functionality with the support >>> of an on-board processor which runs an embedded linux-based system? > > Some informations about the management system as shipped with a H8QG8: > - Linux 2.6._24_ > - Busybox 1.1.3 > - Dropbear 0.50 > - IPMI server as _kernel module_ > - Standard X509 cert with supp...@ami.com as e-mail and expired _five_ > years ago > > This system need some serious overhaul to even let it even near an open > network and a proper update mechanism. Right, it's quite scary. I got the exact same version for at least the Linux kernel and busybox on my X8STi-F boards. Upgrading to the latest firmware doesn't help, I've tried...
