Does anyone have experience of Dell's remote access card, the DRAC 4? (as sold for the dell poweredge 850 I'm looking at). Dell suggests that it's possible, at least for windows, to install an operating system remotely via one of these cards. If that were possible with FreeBSD, it would be very useful for me for deploying remote servers. Short of that, out of band serial access for remote management of servers is the base criteria I'm looking for, and I'd be interested in any feedback on how the dell card performs, and any issues relating to FreeBSD compatibility. If there's competing products I should be aware of that might also be useful information.
