Dell I/T Assistant, and/or the newer Dell Management Console, are both Windows apps which can manage Dell servers running Linux. I'm pretty sure you need Dell OMSA on the target server, which with Slackware might be a little tricky. When running Windows, I use putty to ssh into my Linux boxes. -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist, Dell Office of the CTO linux.dell.com & www.dell.com/linux _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
