I have all my systems except for my two Linux boxes on a
terminal server.  The two Linux boxes are on a KVM switch
with a 19" monitor, and I set DISPLAY to point to the dual
PIII-750 for the display (except for the PWS500au running
VMS V7.3, which has its own 19" monitor even though the
console is serial).  I don't have to bother with trying to
find a reasonably-priced 24-bit color card for the servers.
