tlug: Intel Linux on serial console

[Jonathan Byrne <jq@example.com>]

Somebody just asked me if you could install Linux on a headless machine
and be able to connect to it through a serial console.  I said, "Duh,
I dunno."  :-)  They asked me specifically about TurboLinux, but answers
pertaining to any/all distros that can do this are welcome.  Headless,
of course, is no problem as long as your BIOS supports booting without a
keyboard, but I'm curious about the serial console part.

TIA,
