I think I more or less found my answer. According to a post on TUAW.com
Q: "Is there a way for me to occasionally use my MacBook Pro screen with a PC?..."
A: "No there's no way to do this directly."

I'm not particularly happy with this answer, partly because it's not what I wanted to hear and partly because there's no explanation.

That leaves me in need of at least a monitor and keyboard to install a server - assuming I can do a network install from a USB drive. Otherwise, I suppose I'll need an optical drive as well.

So that now leaves me with these questions:

Suppose I purchase some parts to build a Linux box for my server, and bring them to a place with a monitor, keyboard, etc. that I'll need to set it up, then bring it home, plug it in and hope to connect to it with my MacBook through a Wireless connection:

a) What information will I need to know to set this up without hassle? *i.e., MAC address of server to allow it to connect through the wireless router, etc.
b) Will I need to connect through my Wireless Router, or will built in WiFi on the mainboard, or even a wireless USB adapter be enough to use the server as a wireless router?
c) Should I be connecting through VNC (Chicken of the VNC with my MacBook running Leopard), or is there a better way?

I'll be quite surprised if anyone actually reads this far, so I'm not really expecting any answers on this... still, it would be nice to get something.

Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)

NAME
Jifty::Script::Server - A standalone webserver for your Jifty application SYNOPSIS
jifty server jifty server --port 6666 jifty server --stop DESCRIPTION
Starts and stops Jifty's standalone web server. options --port The port to run the server on. Overrides the port in the config file, if it is set there. The default port is 8888. --user USER The user to become after binding to the port. It is advised that you use this when binding to low ports, instead of running as "root". This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass. --group GROUP The group to become after binding to the port. Like "--user", this option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass. --host HOSTNAME The host to bind to. This option only works if the server is using a Net::Server subclass. --stop Stops the server, if it is running. This is accomplished by reading the PID from "var/jifty-server.pid" --restart restart the server, if it is running. This is accomplished by killing the child pid, and let parent pid create a new one --sigready SIGNAL Sets the signal number that should be sent to the server's parent process when the server is ready to accept connections. --quiet Reduces the amount of debug output sent by the server --dbiprof Turns on DBI profiling; see DBI::ProfileDumper. --help Print a brief help message and exits. --man Prints the manual page and exits. DESCRIPTION
When you're getting started with Jifty, this is the server you want. It's lightweight and easy to work with. METHODS
run "run" takes no arguments, but starts up a Jifty server process for you. perl v5.14.2 2010-12-08 Jifty::Script::Server(3pm)
