Ask Slashdot: Hardware for Headless Linux Boxes 180
Alan Hodgkinson asks:
"I would like to setup a bunch of Linux boxes without
keyboards and monitors. The systems must be
accessable/controlable via their serial ports, including
the ability to send them a hard reset. Sun Sparc hardware
has this feature. You can remove the keyboard and the
system will boot and send all its console output through
the serial port. You can even reset the machine by sending
a break to the serial port. Is there any hardware available
for PCs that will provides this functionality? (And that
works on a wide variety of PC hardware). ISPs must face
this problem. What do they do? Tips anyone?"
