[Tfug] Another Vbox question

[John Hubbard]

I have never done it but I believe that you can run virtualbox on a headless system. VBox allows you to rdesktop into systems (even if the system doesn't support rdesktop natively) so you could still manage it from your regular desktop. Again I haven't done this but I believe that it is supported.

Subject: [Tfug] Another Vbox question

I run my magic Jack off of an OLD Dell PIII 600 laptop with 256 memory. 
It works OK but after running steadily for about 1 1/2 years it is showing
some strain.

I'm setting up a Dell PIII !GHz server with 1GB memory with Debian.  Light
loads, just music and videos and document storage.  Can I run Vbox with a
light window manager like TWM on the Server and plug MagicJack into it?  I
don't want to load the whole thing up with a GUI.

Earl
