First Server (Debian) MacBook Remote Login
Hi,
I just picked up the book "Linux System Administration" and would like to get started setting up a server.
I currently have a MacBook running OS X 10.5.1 and would like to use it for remote loging to the server.
I have a Netgear WGR614 v6 wireless router.
I'm wondering if I will be able to install and set up a Debian server remotely via my MacBook through a wireless connection. Or, would I have to connect directly?
Would I be able to use my MacBook as a monitor only, or would I be able to use the optical drive, keyboard and a mouse through the MacBook, while installing Debian on the server?
Would I be able to do a net install this way, or would I have to have the CD images saved to disk? Could I use the images saved on my MacBook or USB drive, or would I have to burn a CD?
I don't have any parts for the computer that will act as my server yet, and I am not particularly partial to any hardware except my MacBook. I wouldn't mind replacing my router, if it would be easier to work with something different. Any recommendations for hardware that would work well for setting up a server that I would administer with my MacBook would be appreciated.
*Also, is there any way to know if my IP address is static without talking to my internet service provider?
Thanks in advance for any and all help and/or suggestions.
