Right.  If there is any situation that will
require my plugging in a keyboard and monitor
(e.g., network trouble), then VNC is not very
attractive to me.  (X2VNC rocks if you want to
use a single keyboard and mouse to control both
your Windows and Linux monitors.)

As it is, once I get the Debian box going, I will
be using two keyboards and two monitors since a
two-port KVM with cables costs close to $100
which I ain't got.
