The Mac Mini Server bundle is specifically designed to do exactly this. You will likely need to borrow a screen, keyboard and mouse to configure it at the start, but beyond that it will run headless and can be directly controlled by Apple Remote Desktop.I would like to share some data between our Macs. Using a USB disk on Airport Extreme is extremely slow and makes the Airport cook.
What about a Mac Mini with some external disks? Can I administer it from my Macs without getting any mouse, keyboard and screen attached?
The basic version is built into Mac OS X the last two or three major revs and is called "Screen Sharing". Apple Remote Desktop is more full featured and is a $79 optional purchase.>Apple Remote Desktop
Is the basic version free?
The Mini Server comes with the server version of OS X as well as the standard version.I don't think the mini Server package comes with it, but it might: that's a question to ask at an Apple Retail Store.
Sorry for not being clear.The Mini Server comes with the server version of OS X as well as the standard version.
Apple Remote Desktop is a $79 add on and only needed if you want greater admin control over sessions than just the standard screen sharing that all current OS X versions have by default & free.Sorry for not being clear.
I meant, I don't know whether the mini server package comes with the full Apple Remote Desktop implementation. The mini Server package is basically running Mac OS X with the Server tools suite added, so Screen Sharing is there by default.
