You do not need a keyboard to boot a linux machine. By now I've booted
machines thousands of times without a keyboard.

What I'm concerned about is whether the box will boot without a keyboard. If I
shut it down and later press the power
button will it boot? I want to be able to shut it down and restart when i want
to make a backup.
Thanks,

Are you asking if you can disconnect the keyboard and monitor after you've
finished the install? If so, absolutely. This is a fairly common thing in
the server world. Just yesterday I did a debian install with just a
keyboard and braille display attached. Worked great.
There are several ways to do an install without ever attaching a keyboard.
They are non-trivial though. I'll explain how I do it if that's what you
want to know.

I have an oldder machine that I want to use mainly for backup. It will be
accessed by ssh, rsync, etc. So it doesn't
need a monitor or keyboard. How do i set this up?
Thanks,
