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.

NAME
jsadebugd - serviceability agent debug daemon SYNOPSIS
jsadebugd [pid] [server-id] jsadebugd executable core [server-id] DESCRIPTION
jsadebugd attaches to a Java process or core file and acts as a debug server. Remote clients such as jstack, jmap, and jinfo can attach to the server using Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Before starting jsadebugd, rmiregistry must be started with: rmiregistry -J-Xbootclasspath/p:$JAVA_HOME/lib/sajdi.jar where $JAVA_HOME is the J2SE SDK installation directory. If rmiregistry was not started, jsadebugd will start an rmiregistry in a standard (1099) port internally. Debug server may be stopped by sending SIGINT (pressing Ctrl-C) to it. NOTE - This utility is unsupported and may or may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK. jinfo is not currently available on Windows platforms or on the Linux Itanium platform. PARAMETERS
pid process id of the process to which the debug server should attach. The process must be a Java process. To get a list of Java processes running on a machine, jps may be used. At most one instance of the debug server may be attached to a single process. executable Java executable from which the core dump was produced. core core file to which the debug server should attach. server-id optional unique id, needed if multiple debug servers are started on the same machine. This ID must be used by remote clients to identify the particular debug server to attach. Within a single machine, this ID must be unique. SEE ALSO
