[Okvm-devel] greetings; a few questions just to help me wrap my head around this...

[andy g. <gra...@fr...>]

I've used the standard Belkin KVM before, so I'm familiar with regular 
KVM.  I'm excited about this, but I don't understand necessarily.. 
hopefully you'll chuckle and respond well to my ignorance.

My assumption is this:  I have a keyboard, mouse, and a monitor and an 
openkvm box(?) as well as somewhere remotely is sitting a computer just 
waiting to be controlled by these things.  The openkvm box connects to 
the keyboard, mouse, and monitor and an ethernet cable(?) that is 
connected to the great internets. 

This is where my understanding gets a little fuzzy ... this little box 
boots linux and probably gives me the ability to assign DHCP or static 
address, then asks me where my remote VNC server is and uses 
vncviewer/ssh to connect to that remote VNC server and then I can login 
and be right at my remote computer with no problems?  Is this correct? 

What is the footprint of this box, and does is use any fans?

Can I use a touch screen lcd and not use a keyboard/mouse?

If I have multiple openkvm boxes and multiple touchscreens.. can I 
control different vnc sessions on one computer?

I'd like to wrap my head around this to use for our Point-of-Sale system.

Thanks alot, I realize this is a 'devel' mail list.. and I'm obviously 
hardly a 'devel'.
