The whole point of home server is that you connect to it like a appliance over a http connection. So it should run with no display.
I would personally go for SSH. It's designed for remote admining, http isn't. Though a HTTP interface would be good for the higher level stuff. Completely agree that it should not run with a monitor though.
Although when setting it up you do need a monitor :(
Can't you connect a serial cable between the server and a laptop/PC or something? I also remembering reading about a server system that could be installed over a network (you probably want to make sure your the only person with access to that network first), or maybe I just imagined that bit. You certainly should not need a powerful graphics card. Should be able to install a server from a text console anyway. Graphics card are for your Desktop. or those boxes you plug straight into the T.V. Andy -- SELECT * FROM remarks WHERE witty=1 LIMIT 1 - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
