In addition to what the previous poster said. If you don't already have
some form of Linux running on the box, it would probably be easiest to
buy a USB2 enclosure (or similar). Then you can take the hard drive out
of the headless machine, attach it to the laptop, install Linux and put
it back in the headless machine. Make sure to install ssh so you can
admin it remotely.
