I would like to open discussions on a project involving duplicating the console functions in the server-manager.
Similar to other server appliances on the market, this would enhance the current feature set and allow for SME Servers to be pre-built on various headless (no video/keyboard) hardware platforms with a preset IP assignment. Clients then simply connect the box to their network, browse to the predefined server IP (192.168.1.1) and use the server-manager as a _single_point_ to complete their server setup. Again, just to be clear, I plan to leave the current console intact but duplicate the console panels (that make sense to duplicate) in the server-manager to effect the above _single_point_ of server management. On an initial look at the existing console code, it appears very possible to accomplish this. Question: - are there any known technical hurdles to overcome or is it simply that no one has ventured down this path yet?
