Re: System i5 first boot

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

I don't know about that.  Discussion of twinax isn't germane to Aaron's
situation, but the comment that stirred a lot of the pot -- specifically,
Rob's opinion that twinax is both archaic and unreliable -- deserved the
opportunity for rebuttal.  It's pretty clear from the comments that us old
geezers and our silly KISS principle still have some kick left in us.
