This is exactly what a friend of mine does, he runs a small network, using his linux box as a gateway, and he only attaches a monitor when he wants to access the computer directly, otherwise you can telnet in. That way you can get away with a really basic card and monitor, because any system maintance only really needs a screen capable of diplaying text. He also leaves the computer on all the time, but I think he still has a keyboard attached. As far as I am aware a computer will still boot regardless if a monitor is attached or not. But the intial setup of the box would require a monitor I guess, cheers Johann Peter Flinkfelt wrote: > Can a Linux box run without being attached to a monitor permanantly?
