Hello,
I am a senior at the University of Colorado at Boulder, one aspect of our senior project requires us to communicate with a laptop that is in a command module underwater. Due to size and thermal restrictions inside the command module we want to use a laptop that is stripped of the casing and screen. Is it possible to still boot up windows without the laptop screen or any external monitor and use remote connection via ethernet to access the operating system? We need to use windows since our Data Acquisition box runs off of labVIEW.
Thanks,
Dan

Yes. You could use either server tools to control it, or use something called Teamviewer to auto start and auto log on, with a fixed code and password. You can then control it.

Edit- Oh, if you mean using Linux to control it - i'm not sure, but teamviewer will run via wine.
