Not exactly your typical "remote machine", but the principle is the
same. I have a dedicated HTPC machine next to my 50" plasma, connected
by 50 feet of ethernet cable to my computer den. I use the TV as a
monitor when running NHL GameCenter Live.
I have Lilo set up to "dual boot" between a "production" and an
"experimental" kernel. The first (i.e. default) boot option is the
"production" kernel. When I set up a new kernel, I try to always run it
as experimental. Even if the kernel panics, I don't<G>. I boot back
into the production kernel, and try again. Once the experimental kernel
has run for a couple of weeks without problems, I copy it over the
production kernel.
One problem... if I build a new kernel, is there a way to get the
"remote machine" to boot to the non-default experimental kernel just
once? Any future boots to default to production (unless its a restart
from hibernate).
