RE: [expert] Linux Serverbox Setup

[Ran Hooper]

It has nothing to do with Linux. If your card supports it - fine.
My server box doesn't so I have to flip the switchbox over to it when I turn
it on, then flip it back has soon as I have video on the screen. Most video
cards should work ok without a monitor. Most Trident Chipset cards that I
have seen have issues and need a monitor attached, preferably a non energy
star model.

For those of you that turned older machines into dedicated servers...
Since you can do most things remotely, do you still keep a monitor
attached to it?  Can it reboot without the monitor connected?

You can definitely boot without a monitor.  As for the keyboard, you using
have to change a setting in your BIOS to ignore keyboard errors.  Linux
won't care that it's missing.
