What's a headless server?
by ddenial from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5EKF2)
Hi
What's a headless server? According to Google, this is a server without a monitor, keyboard, mouse and is managed remotely.
Then is there a difference between a headless server and a server with no GUI? Or are they same?
If someone says "install these packages to a headless server", then is it also applied to a server that has no GUI but has a monitor, keyboard, and mouse (standalone server).
Can the headless server also have a graphic interface?
Thanks
