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. Smilie

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

deb-origin

deb-origin(5)							      Debian							     deb-origin(5)

NAME

       deb-origin - Vendor-specific information files

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/dpkg/origins/filename

DESCRIPTION

       The  files  in  /etc/dpkg/origins can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. They contain a number of
       fields, or comments when the line starts with '#'.  Each field begins with a tag, such as Vendor or Parent, followed by	a  colon  and  the
       body  of the field. Fields are delimited only by field tags. In other words, field text may be multiple lines in length, but the tools will
       join lines when processing the body of the field.

REQUIRED FIELDS

       Vendor: vendor-name
	      The value of this field determines the vendor name.

OPTIONAL FIELDS

       Vendor-URL: vendor-url
	      The value of this field determines the vendor URL.

       Bugs: bug-url
	      The value of this field determines the type and address of the bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a mailto URL or  a
	      debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/).

       Parent: vendor-name
	      The value of this field determines the vendor name of the vendor that this vendor derives from.

EXAMPLE

       Vendor: Debian
       Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/
       Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org
