I've wanted to do the same and think the _used_ systems that were
provided have IPMI but I've never taken the time to figure out what I
need to do it. Looked at a couple of articles but they tended to be
manufacturer specific.
You got any suggestions on reading/how to/etc. for setting up IPMI that
are generic? Hardware and software needed?
TIA,
