Thanks. I remember someone on the list marketing it fairly recently.  I
guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

I was thinking of installing a minimal Gnome desktop on the server, but
come to think of it, rdesktop will do the job just fine once the machine
runs!

Is it possible to install/run virtual box on a server without a GUI?  I
guess I'll find out.
