as presented to David and Gonéri, and following discussions with Jean
Delvare (prev. maintainer of dmidecode), you will probably be
interested in using IPMI to switch to the next gear, and be able to
get more data, and possibly over the network.

For more details, refer to the history of system management, for example here:
