Monitoring tools? Something that doesn't require a display?

Etherboot or NFS-boot it, and perhaps if you could hack something with
a sensor up on the null-modem/serial cable you might be able to have
it control robotics tools from a PC, or perhaps security/monitoring
equipment, sensors, etc.

As per the technical specs:
Two communication interfaces are provided, 10/100 Mbit half/full
duplex Ethernet and a serial port with up to 230.400 baud.Five
additional lines can be used for either general input/output or serial
handshaking.

So technically you could hook up a bunch of the serial ports to
various compatible peripherals.
