Command Line or GUI?

Command Line is how I run all of my servers and it's a piece of cake.

Download Putty on your Windows machine and use it to open a ssh session to the 
Linux machine.

As Fred states, if you remove the keyboard, the machine may not boot, so check 
that out as well. You may have to leave an old keyboard plugged in, there 
might be a bios setting to ignore keyboard errors on boot or it might just 
work.

So, is CL operations enough for you?
