A picture of the final setup... The Opteron is the box right next to the monitor...

I have ISOs for Taroon so if we needed to switch it would be easy...

The only configuration I had to do was to enable sshd and open port 22... Everything else worked great right from the start...

I installed *everything*... :)

Can I ask what the thing on top of the monitor is? I'm just curious.

It is a PIX firewall...

Thanks. I'm reading about it at cisco.com but I couldn't understand what is the difference between a router and pix firewall? Are they the same thing?

I spent close to 8 hours trying to get it to post with no keyboard, but there is no combination in the BIOS that will allow that... I suppose maybe I'll pick up a USB keyboard because I sure hate yanking the PS/2 keyboard...

What about "Stop on" "No Errors"?

Should be first page of the Bios.

No... The 501 just happens to have a router built in... No other PIX (AFAIK) does... It is geared more towards the SOHO market...

Yes, I tried that of course... There is even an option to disable the keyboard, but when you do that it still doesn't work, and since the keyboard is disabled you can't get back into the BIOS without clearing it...

Xyzzy,

When you get the computer to George you should ask Prime Monster if he needs any more motherboards. I noticed he has a server connected to a hub and then ten P4 motherboards and one AMD. I think it might be interesting to contribute if he wants. I'll PM him too.

I actually have 24 mobos (11 P4s, 7 AMD XPs and 6 PIIIs) running headless/diskless/etc :D and yes I am looking for some new boards, but not immediately. Will probably go for a P4 combo again, as I feel quite comfortable with them.
