iLO would only be useful to me when I'm at work or out of the area and not
at home.
Realistically at work I do 98% of configuration via SSH (that's server and
router/switch configuration), so who am I kidding I want IPMI on a
microserver (for home). :-D
Dual GigE is nice, but I'd really prefer an Intel NIC! ;-)

Right on.
I'm somewhat spoiled with all the remote management/configuration that be
done via IPMI/SoL.
( Which is why I'm asking about the iLO feature set the gen8's ship with. )
Thanks for the info John.
