Re: System i5 first boot

[Brian <iserieslists@xxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I'm an old geezer too and can't argue with the reliability of a twinax
console; my experience is that it has always been rock solid. What I really
would like to see, and don't understand why IBM can't do it, is for them to
add a small, hardened linux kernal to the service processor card that would
allow for an HTTPS connection to the i5 from any device with a browser
installed and forget about all this console configuration mess.

Kind regards,

Brian
