Hi, I'm wondering if this is possible.
Reasoning: I have a G4 Powerbook running Panther. I've been developing this .NET web site and got through the first phase of development with running Virtual PC on my powerbook and then installing MSSql Server 2000 on Virtual PC running WinXP. Yes, what a nightmare. It's very slow and lately it's been crashing a lot when I try to transfer/copy files from my Mac hard drive over to the WinXP side while working in the WinXP/VPC window/environment. So what I'm planning on doing is buying a cheap PC (just the box, no monitor or keyboard/mouse) which will act as a server for the .NET web site. I'd still like to do my development on the powerbook but if I have this server on the same network, i should be able to move files to the server from my powerbook fairly easy (from what I've read). This is not possible with Virtual PC. With VPC I have to try to copy files while working in the WinXP enironment and this causes Explorer to crash quite often and I can't take it anymore. Sorry for the long winded explanation. I'm just wondering if I buy a PC and put it on the same network as the powerbook, can I administer the PC from my powerbook over the wire (for example, install SDK's, reboot, etc)?
