You have several choices here. * Webmin - uses a web browser to administer the box * VNC - You can have an X session running on the server that you can access from a client machine (no matter what OS the client is) * SSH - Tunnel into the machine and perform your duties. I personally prefer to use Webmin and VNC to administer several boxes here - not that they don't have un-supported video cards, but because of the lack of monitors and keyboard (and space). Works like a champ. As well, with doing updates/upgrades, SSH does just nicely. -- stephen kuhn mobile: 0410-728-389 illawarra and regional new south wales ----------------------------------------------- GNU/Linux/OpenSource Solutions and Alternatives 100% Microsoft Free :: Crashing is NOT an option.
