It will be living in the home office pretty close to a monitor, so I’m happy enough to plug it in and use a screen to set everything up. But hopefully once it’s up and running, I’ll rarely need to use a screen and can check on the apps via a browser on my laptop/tablet/phone.
In any case, I’ll check out the VNC option linked above, thanks.
I guess it probably makes sense to start with Raspbian then and see how that goes first.
I’ve also heard about OSMC, which is media player centric distro. Although given I am not actually using this thing as a front end (at least for now), that might be a waste.
Out of curiosity, what hardware are you using?
