As new Dreamcast games are rather scarce these days, it has been given
the great honor of running Potato. :) I've been thinking about setting
up Apache on it to do some limited web serving, but I haven't gotten
around to it yet. First I need to figure out how to get it to boot from
an NFS mount. Burning a new CD each time I make a change is getting
costly. (Not to mention hideously repetitive.)

Well, getting the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to switch between setups
would be more of a convenience than anything else. One of the computers
is my all-purpose desktop which gets 99% of my time, one is a P133
functioning as a mailserver which I have no problem telnetting into, and
one is my laptop which I just hate having to keep moving 75 degrees to
my left to look at. :) The Dreamcast is the only thing that really
REQUIRES any cables to be moved, and I don't use it all that often.
That's one of the reasons that spending a good deal of money on a KVM
isn't really an option.
