You'll need a keyboard/monitor for initial setup, but they can be removed and you can use a serial console afterwards. > I'd like to know what hardware I should buy. You didn't exactly say what you wanted to do. At least now you know what I managed to do with a box that only had a little bit more processor power. > Any suggestions or comments is welcome! > > Spidey > > How 'bout a little ride through your own world? > http://www.JSP.UMontreal.CA/~beaupran/ > -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
