Sysadmin and IT folks would feel a lot safer administering Linux or Unix servers using BMC if we knew that the BMC's software is open source too. Open source software can be patched on time. I am testing openbmc from IBM. Stay tuned for more info on openbmc.
@nixcraft OpenBMC is a step in the right direction, definitely. It's not only IBM but actually @linuxfoundation that drives it - which means it has some heavy backers. Orthogonal to this, there are other efforts as well being drafted to do even more steps than OpenBMC does.

True but very few vendor are shipping system with OpenBMC. IBM, Raptor Computing Systems and other. Hence I said IBM.

Fair enough :-)
