Probably the best bet is to setup your standalone system to boot other
systems, then boot a separate cpu/auth server and any terminals you
like. You can then configure your original standalone as purely a
file server. When I had my 9grid running, I had a file server and a
cpu server and configured them to point to sources as auth (so anyone
with a sources account could log into my cpu server). Instead of
booting a separate terminal, I just used drawterm to the cpu server.

That's not a bad idea - of course, they should all be on this list.

I personally just run a cpu/fs/auth machine and have a parallels
terminal/fs as well. I typically use parallels these days though, as
drawterm's "yellow problem" is quite irritating.
Anyone have a solution to that?
