I've been running it since last september - never had any problem with
it, and am pretty convinced it is stable.

Booting from the CD - I had one FreeBSD/iLO combination which would noit
boot from the emulated CD. I needed to use the floppies and do a network
install. That was painful - I can't remember the version though. Certainly
I have had no such probelsm with 7.0 and the latest iLO.

It acts as a complete console - just as if you were sitting in front
of the machine. You can see the screen, use keyboard and mouse, and
attack images as CD's or floppies.

iLO runs over https so is encrypted. It does run better from a Windows
client than anything else sadly - but I keep a wWindows box around
for this purpose. Have just installed a set of machines somewhere in
Louisianna remotely, whilst sitting in bed in London with a cup of tea :
using an OSX laptop :-) I love iLO...
