Hello Gary,

Only some vid cards are fussy about not having a display connected (eg. S3 
Virge GX/2).
Most of them (TNT, TNT2, ATIs, older Matroxes, GFs, etc.) run just fine 
headless.

For the KB, just set the BIOS option to "Ignore all errors"

Been running my own NAS of sorts (as well as torrent/ripping/encoding

using UltraVNC for the past couple of years. WindowsXP-based though :P

Re: [H] NAS and linux

[Gary Udstrand]

freebsd works for me.I used BSD for quite some time before Linux
came on the scene.  Now I find myself using Linux as a generic term for
open source unix OS's.  ;-)   I prefer BSD (might be a heretic!) so
freenas is very appealing to me.

Re: [H] NAS and linux

Thanks everyone!  NasLite was the one I was looking for but FreeNas
seems like it might be a better fit for me since it has an http
console.  I am not sure that NasLite does.   Either way they both look
like great solutions.  :-)

One last thing, I have not run a PC headless for quite some time.  In
the past we had to fit a null video loop and keyboard stuff to get the
systems to boot.  Is this still the case or will I be able to remove the
keyboard/monitor once these are set up?

Thanks again

[H] Best P.O.S.T. Diagnostic Card?

[chuck]

I was trying to build a Celeron Socket 775 computer using an Asus P5P800 
Motherboard that I had left over. It would not perform P.O.S.T. It powered 
up and all of the fans spun, but no beeps or video. As you know, the Socket 
775 fans are a dog to remove. I hope I do not have to attempt this.


What is the best P.O.S.T. PCI diagnostic card around that has video display?

I tried all the usual, different memory, different power supply and 
different video card.  Still, no video.


Any advice will be deeply appreciated,

Chuck
