I work with a few iDRAC 7s, as well as 6s, and a large amount of much
worse remote console types using a FreeBSD 10-RELEASE workstation. I use
Firefox + Wine with Java installed and it's working out fine with recent
versions of Wine. You will have a hard time getting remote disks to work
with a native version of Java (they drop a Linux .so in $HOME at best,
and nothing at worst).
