You may wish to have separate NICs though - my personal estimate is that if
one port fails on a dual port card, the other one is likely to fail too.

Failsafe cannot currently use this, and I am unaware of the plan to make use
of serial interconnect.

Good, thanks for testing this! So far, Failsafe has been mainly tested on SuSE
Linux, but of course we want to support all platforms.

I assume you mean "guiinstall" here?

You can only launch the GUI directly from X or via X forwarding (using
ssh/telnet).
However, you do not have to run the GUI on the server, but you should be able
to run the GUI on any client and have it connect to the proper server. Be
aware that this is currently not encrypted and will transmit your root
password over the network in plaintext!
(You may wish to use a secured network or forward the GUI over ssh)
