Open source KVM over IP

Pi-KVM is a very interesting project. It allows you to build a fully functional KVM over IP solution using cheap hardware and open source software. Source at Github: pikvm/pikvm The KVM supports virtual CD-ROM and virtual flash drive too. You can power on / off the server via ATX power control. Wonderful, and useful too.

The requirements for the server you are comntrolling isn't too great; it must have HDMI output (for VGA use a VGA-to-HDMI converter) and use usb keyboard and mouse. As already mentioned in issue 26 it is possible to create a FPGA-based capture device, so in theory you could handle other type of console output too.
