Dropbear was just a quick and easy solution. I am sometimes too lazy. :(

(think usb-vga adapter)

Plus I can test fatter distros. Plus it plays Red Alert smoothly. :) (I use the native Windows build, blasphemous, but still fun)

Processor is still a bottleneck. Trying to find a Slot 1 Coppermine….
