No, I was wondering if you could run it on a system without a graphics  
card and keyboard attached. I did know about Windows Server Core, and  
it's a step in the right direction, but I believe (could be wrong  
since I have only read about it and never used it myself) that you  
still need a keyboard and monitor.
