Thank you.

Just make sure it's accessable over the network, and you're set.
If it's goign to run X, and you really want a GUI, I'd suggest looking
into VNC.
One thing to remember, make sure the machine doesn't halt if it
doesn't detect a keyboard. This way, you can reboot it without having
to have a kbd in it.
I run several machines like this, without a mouse, kbd, or monitor.
Hell, they don't even have video cards.
Thanks

Still you may think about some simple KVM switch. My Fedora box is
running mostly without monitor (I am using ssh access - did not try
anything like VNC though as I really don't need the GUI for the things I
am doing most of the time). I do have the KVM switch though for the rare
moments when I check out the LaTeX output.
