[ale] Headless, Consoleless, DVDless, NetInstall? was: Fedora NetInstall via USB Drive

[Brandon Checketts]

Not sure what your tie to Peer1 is, but you might look at ServerBeach which is
owned by them.  SB does non-managed servers so you pay a whole lot less, but can
still get RedHat licenses and such.  You can also do your own reboots as well as
boot into a simple rescue mode.  I believe they can also do private networks.
I've had a server there for 6 months or so and have been impressed.

Thanks,
