All you need is to PXE boot the server which you can control via IPMI. It’s still pants, under RHEL you can tell it to start SSH automatically or even VNC server so you can do a remote install.

There are many time you want to do an install, but you really do not want to be in the machine room because of noise or a generally uncomfotable environment. If you really need to prestage, You could always send a an ISO that is setup with preseed. I agree with Elizabeth.

Lately i've been studying Hadoop. That appeals to me because i've long been involved with large amounts of random information on music. Used to use AskSam which seems to have fallen by the wayside in recent years. Hadoop can take its place. I'm personally hoping that these studies will result in having a better ability to find connections between Pythagorean music theory and the Raga system of India. This Widom course is thus worth considering. Excellent review! Lately i’ve been studying Hadoop. That appeals to me because i’ve long been involved with large amounts of random information on music.

I did have reasonable success with xnee. One trick when using xnee was that I was having to "zero" the mouse between clicks by clicking in the upper left corner of my screen. (Actually it was two clicks, as that action would open my Gnome menu, so click again to close.) I'm guessing that mouse acceleration was messing with the cursor placement. The script xnee produces isn't very approachable, lots of numerical coding for movement and placement, so I doubt it could be scriptable as simply as xte seems to be.
