VNC Installation

[Ropetin Again]

Good evening all,

This question comes from one thing really, laziness.  I have an older
desktop (p3 1GHz, 512Mb) that I use as a server for music, as remote
storage and as a Torrent downloader.  Currently it is running Windows
2000, with a VNC server so it is headless.

I would like to be able to replace Windows with Linux, but I don't want
to get the monitor out of storage.  Is it possible to install Ubuntu (or
any other version of Linux I guess), including re-partitioning, via a
VNC connection?  Or the real question is, does Ubuntu or another distro
have a VNC server enabled at part of the install?

Thanks in advance,
Ropetin.
