Using remote desktop software for Windows or Linux, you don't need a locally attached keyboard, mouse, or monitor. And if you're running Linux and can manage a server from the console, you don't even need remote desktop. And it's more convenient than physically going to the server when you need to perform some maintenance task.
I'm not big on using notebooks as servers for a number of reasons. One is the cost, where you can almost always buy or build a comparable desktop/nettop for less than the cost of a notebook. Another is that you're pretty much forced to use external disk drives for storage of a large music library. That means an extra wall wart and a couple of extra cables, which is just kinda messy. -- JJZolx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87968 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
