My concern is with the screen distortion you first experienced. This is
typical of what can happen if OSX is installed before updating the iMacs
firmware. Of more concern is that you have a 350 MHz iMac, these don't have
an external video socket that lets you regain access if the screen display
eventually disappears, as it can.
Of course, you can regain access over the network if you've enabled remote logins. So long as you have decent passwords, there is no reason I can think of *not* to enable this. "Decent" means eight or more characters including at least one digit and one non-alphanumeric character, and nothing from a dictionary. Note that if this is your home system, there's no reason not to hang it up next to the system--you're protecting against people coming in over the network, not against your family (I guess your mileage may vary on that, but in my case I don't worry about it).
