Only problem is how will he transfer the image to the machine when it is in a colo (or otherwise not locally accessible). Long-term runnix would be a better solution as he could get images onto the machine if needed without local access. In a prior email Phillip stated that he doesn't have physical access to the box. Installing runnix would only require him to gain physical access to the box one time.
