Server - no video card
I want to save money as I expand my collection of Debian servers by running
without a video card. On the rare occasion that I need console access to a
machine I would pull it off the shelf and insert an AGP video card.
I just tried it on one of my servers and the only thing I observed was a beep
during the boot-up sequence.
Several questions come to mind:
Is this an acceptable mode of operation? Are others running in this mode?
Should most motherboards being recently produced be expected to run without a
video card? (Maybe it's a BIOS thing?)
Thanks,
