The discussion around the Comet, an open-source remote KVM developed by GL-iNet, reveals users' curiosity about its open-source claims, specifically whether both the software and hardware components are genuinely open-source. There's a comparison to the Sipeed NanoKVM, with questions regarding similarities and differences, particularly in terms of their architectures and the software used. Some users express anticipation for the device's launch, suggesting that it might integrate well with existing GL-iNet networking equipment to provide a complete out-of-band management solution. Nonetheless, the lack of available product details and source code is a concern among commenters, along with a general uncertainty about when it will be available for use.
