How do I use my laptop to use as a monitor for a server?

I want to use my laptop which has a VGA input to physically connect to a server and view the screen. This is a linux server.

  1. You would need some sort of video in card that supports digital video..

    I personally cant think of any off the top of my head, but if your thinking that you can just plug a couple cables in, it isnt going to work sadly.

    It would be really nice to use a laptop as a terminal, but to me the cons outweigh the pros.

  2. something like vmware would do it.. you connect the network to each pc. or have a seperate network card..

    are you sure its a vga input? not an output?

    if so , just split the signal in 2 using a cable.

    but the vmware solution would be better as you can actually change settings via the laptop.
