I've been doing 100% linux-only admin for years and I've never found the fact that one had to have a windows machine to more-reliably use the Dell DRACs an overly onerous requirement. If fact, in most locations I've been at the DRAC's are vlanned and firewalled away onto a management vlan and the easiest way to get to them is to rdesktop to a windows VM on that vlan and use IE from there. That said, I still believe HP's iLo2 is far, far better than the DRAC5/6 because the iLo just works with little to no fuss. -n -- ------------------------------------------- nathan hruby <nhr...@gmail.com> metaphysically wrinkle-free ------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
