Speaking of that sort of thing, I'd really LOVE if there were a device
about the size of a netbook that could be hooked up to otherwise headless
machines in colos that would give you keyboard, video & mouse. i.e. a
folding netbook shaped VGA monitor with USB keyboard and touchpad. I know
there are folding rackmount versions of this (i.e. from Dell), but I want
something far more portable. Twice in the past month, I'd had to drive
100+ miles to a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and
keyboard with me. Has anyone actually built this yet?
