Installing X on a server is overkill, unless you plan on staring at the monitor all day. OTOH, FreeBSD also makes for a nice desktop system. Better activate sshd (Secure Shell daemon) and log into the machine from your desktop, e.g. with 'putty'. That way you can run commands like 'systat -vmstat' remotely. You can also view the logfiles by logging in remotely. If you are logged in you can also modify syslog.conf to have the system write you a message whenever certain types of error occur. You could even have the system e-mail you the error messages (unless the e-mail isn't working :-) Roland --=20 R.F.Smith (http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/) Please send e-mail as plain text. public key: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/pubkey.txt --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCngaCEnfvsMMhpyURAvBAAJ9U/oZW7U6Sll2CQ4LaOD5mMgv3pgCfbnXP iNjYv6ucbb6JG1hgB6Z5BbE= =CRkR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FL5UXtIhxfXey3p5--
