	Don't even own a kvm, KVM's cost money, keyboards and monitors are 
often free.  Why use anything but SSH anyway?  Are you managing servers 
with poor SSH support?  I just ssh into the box I want from the one I am 
sittng at and tunnel X there, why go to the computer you want, bring it 
to you.  If it is one of those windows OS's use remote desktop and never 
sit at it, Cygwin's X server sucks, constantly crashing if you do 
anything complicated (much more than an xterm).

	I usually decide by the oldest machine still in active use, "It still 
does 'X' perfectly well why kill it".  Also the shock when someone tells 
that a computer is too slow to be useful when it is faster than half the 
machines on their home network.
