[geeks] ARGH. KVMs

[Geoff Reed]

Yup, Raritan paragon :)  the ONLY way to handle a rack with 50 1U servers 
in it :):):)  Sweet setup.  most of them use a "dong;e" type device that 
hooks up to the kbd/mouse/monitor out, and converts it to a cat 5 cable, we 
put 2 wire "ladders" in the sides of our racks and zip-tie the dongles to 
them, then run bundles of cat 5e cabling to the paragon.... sweet setup :)
