I'm getting ready to install Gentoo on a remote bare metal server at SoftLayer:
http://knowledgelayer.softlayer.com/procedure/mount-iso-bare-metal-server Option 1 requires that I have "infrastructure deployed on SoftLayer" which I guess means a second server there which I don't have. Option 2 seems to require that I have a NAS at SoftLayer which I don't have. That leaves me with Option 3 which requires that I set up a VPN connection, enable java in my browser, and download "Java iKVM viewer". Is there a better way? If not, is there an easy way to set up that VPN connection? I've always read that OpenVPN is a bear and I've been lucky enough to avoid needing it all this time. - Grant
