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?
Not quite... but there is at least one vendor who manufactures a single-head genlock VNC server; it plugs into your VGA, KB and Mouse connectors, and has an Ethernet connector on the other side. This might actually be more useful, I think. Wish I could give you a vendor name. Startech makes them with builtin KVM switches, but I'm not sure if they have the single port model.
