Upcycling Unused Tech
I wanted/needed a dedicated terminal for accessing systems via serial console. I looked at various solutions and found the cost to be prohibitive so I found a used Asus EEE PC to use. On order is a USB to serial cable that has a RS232 Female DB9 plug which is somewhat rare. Together these two items will go into a rackmount drawer for supporting my lab.
Setup
- Console only install of Debian Stretch
- Change systemd getty config with -a root to auto login as root on boot. Tech/HowTo/Auto login to root on console with systemd
- Setup wireless network
- Tech/HowTo/Mediawiki from the command line
- Changed MOTD to instruct on Tech/OSS/Minicom usage
- USB Serial adapter is awesome, plugged straight into SGM-DEN-SRV-02.LATHAMA.NET and did a fresh install via notes on Tech/HowTo/PC Engines
