> Have you thought of VNCing to the other machines from one of your boxes? I VNC into my mac, RDP into my winXP cd/dvd burning machine, and use X servers to run graphical stuff on my Linux boxen - they all run headless, although I have a 14" monitor hooked up to a 4-port Belkin OmniView SE, and some of the headless kit is hooked up to that, so in case I need to do console stuff, I can (one of my dreamcasts is hooked up through it too). btw the Belkin OmniView kit is good - the SE KVM allows keyboard switching control, but doesn't print anything on the screen. Picture quality is excellent at all resolutions and refresh rates - I remember using an old clunker of a KVM switch, which was mechanical - like an old printer switch - and the picture quality was degraded at higher (> 800x600) resolutions and high refresh rates. -- _ __/| ___ ___ __ _________ "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned \`O_o' / _ \/ -_) // / __/ _ \ for Sega." -- Brodie, 'Mallrats' =(_ _)=/_//_/\__/\_,_/_/ \___/ @ well.com :: William Anderson U - Ack!
