The older generations supported text console (i have > a 360G2 that does so).

The Java based console is the same, text will work out license but graphics mode and that includes certain VESA text modes. Standard iLO gives the graphical console and virtual media. On Blade servers the graphical access and virtual media is included. And the Advanced license gives extra stuff like integration into AD for authentication afik. I have been running, at least until I had to roll out Linsux, FreeBSD on all our HP and haven't had issues.
