Oh, I'm sure all that stuff's in there -- but, again, chicken and egg: I 
gotta get VGA going, first, so I can set them up.

Agreed.  But VGA is de facto winning, here.

Oddly... I don't know.  I *think* it's an Intel -- as in, 
comes-from-Intel-themselves.  Couldn't find a model, but I'll admit I 
didn't look too hard.  I've already installed Linux on two of the sleds; 
the other two will wait for Tuesday (next day I'm in the office).
