Out of curiousity, I'd like to know what are the better ways to setup and run a headless (monitor less) machine with FC3.

I'm going to setup a third linux box in my room, and thought it would be nice to learn and try out.

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.

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.

Yah I know what you mean. I have a brand new 2-port KVM waitng for such a use. But I just wanted to explore other possibilites as the box wil be a basically a 'fun' box.


Peace
