I've got some experience with DRACs... some good (it works) but mostly
bad... good thing is, with DRAC 4/5 you can load an iso image into the
DRAC (virtual CD) and install from there. Also got a remote console. It
just does all what you need, imho... BUT...

..now the bad... most stuff only works with Windows/IE(6)... or
Firefox/Linux. The DRAC firmware doesn't even recognize OpenBSD. With
the DRAC 4 it isn't so bad, it just asumes you use Linux instead, the
DRAC 5 however sees that it isnt Linux, so it must be Windows and offers
you ActiveX stuff instead of Java with Firefox using OpenBSD... kinda
sucks, so the remote console isn't working.

Also, the firmware... for DRAC 4 the latest 1.4 and 1.6 seem to work
pretty well... with DRAC 5 you need 1.32, everything else before that...
total piece if shit.

Basically one can say... if you get a DRAC, you need the IE... either
Windows/IE or Wine/IE, version 6 of cause, 7 doesn't work properly.
