Really not often do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent; the difficulty is one thing that not sufficient individuals are talking intelligently about. I am very glad that I stumbled throughout this in my search for something relating to this. I’m impressed, I have to say.

Has no video card. Want to access the V100 via VNC and graphical interface. Been told I need to have a video card in the V100. Been told there is a very difficult way of providing graphics to a VNC session without the V100 having a video card. Unfortunately need to go with the difficult process:-) What is the difficult process? I have a Sun Fire V100. Has no video card. Want to access the V100 via VNC and graphical interface.

Why not just use that? What we need to know is how to log in over VNC instead of just connecting after the user has already logged in. But Ubuntu already has remote desktop built in.

Once a Linux box comes up you can connect to it remotely (VLC or other graphical options are also great), log in and do with it what you'd like. Hey Greg,

But how do you boot up a headless server? I've got a box I'd like to use as a headless server, and I'm pretty much figuring out how to do that as long as the server is running. But I can't figure out how to boot it without seeing a log-in prompt/screen and entering username and password! Great info, thanks.
