hey -users, i'm thinking that this computer sitting right by my bed, which is on 24/7 and producing profuse amounts of noise, really ought to be moved into my closet, far away from the monitor on my desktop (which would still be used for another workstation that goes on and off) and coincidentally, far away from my bed. so i've got this extra laptop with a serial port, and i'm thinking it'd make a nice console for this machine, such that i could open my closet door, flip up the lcd, and look at stuff if something ever went wrong, and at the same time be able to close the closet door and get a silent night's sleep. so, without even googling or apt-cache'ing, i found /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/en-txt/Serial-Laplink-HOWTO.gz, already on my system, which looks pretty promising. however i'd still like to field some opinions/experience from anyone on the list who's done something similar, so i might be able to avoid pitfalls, find shortcuts, et c... thanks sean
