I was reading the thread "Remote Desktop to Ubuntu from a Windows XP PC", which came close to what I'm trying to do. I have a Linux box that I'm trying to set-up using a remote desktop (using Windows XP) without have into login at the linux box and without a display, mouse, or keyboard attached (to the linux box). Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? All comments welcome. - drdoug

Putty (any SSH client) will only work if the Ubuntu machine is already set up with a working network interface and has a SSH server installed and running. If the machine is running Ubuntu Server there should be no problem checking the box for SSH Server during the installation of Ubuntu Server.
