vPro
just the mention of it - aargh - I'm off to get the garlic, wooden stake, and whatever else is needed to stave off creatures of the night.
iLO is nice but the firmware seems to go through a zillion releases before it's stable. Actually iLO standard is good enough for our remote command-line needs, using an SSH connection.
I don't want to think about vPro, there is just some much schlepp to set up the prerequisites on the system from which it will be accessed.
