I run debian (almost) headless. You sometimes need a keyboard and display if things break and you have to run a rescue CD. I normally connect from another machine that has a X-server, but VNC is another way to manage the box without a head.
One suggestion. AFAIK, UFS is NOT a journalled file system. You thus risk serious loss on certain hardware failures, and very long restart times after crashes (rare) or power failures (less rare). If possible, I'd convert (don't know if you can) or start from scratch with a journalled file system. EXT3 is the current vanilla journalled file system for linux. Also, I find it useful to put the OS on a rather small root partition (say 8 gig). Its then really easy to brute force back up the system. -- Millwood 2 SB3, 1 Duet Debian Etch server 2 AP (netgear, linksys) wireless network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Millwood's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3600 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54842 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
