Thanks for the suggestions, I'll report back later in the week after I have a chance to try some. Cheers, Bryce.

Hi, I've got a new Ubuntu machine that will be run without an attached monitor or keyboard/mouse in our comms cupboard for call logging from the PABX system. I'm trying to set up a method that will allow a remote desktop connection, but finding many conflicting ideas abound. So far, I can setup 'screen sharing' from the settings and connect to the desktop remotely using VNC on windows. However, if the machine is rebooted without a monitor attached then VNC can't connect, It needs there to be a monitor present. If a monitor is present it still needs the user to have logged on first before it works. So I need some way to start it in this situation or something different. I know I could use SSH and use command line to do everything, but other non-linux users need to be able to connect and look at stuff from time to time, a gui would help them a lot. So, I was hoping someone on this list may have done this already and be able to give me a good pointer?
