I have buy a 'KVM' i think +-25euro, so a can take control over 2PC's with
one : monitor,keyboard,mouse. I must press : 'Scroll Lock+Scroll Lock+ESC'
to switch from one pc to another. You can find an 'KVM' switch for 2,4,...
or more pc's.

On my other 'KVM' switch i must press 'CTRL+CTRL+F2' to switch from on pc to
another.

An 'KVM' you can buy it on ex. Ebay, or in you're favorite PC store.

I think : It's also possible to take temporaly a keyboard, mouse and
monitor, the time you install you're Linux box. After good install, you can
access you're pc with 'SSH'. Search for good info on google about 'ssh' or
some else. Then you can access another computer by typing the command 'ssh
USERNAME@COMPUTERNAME' followed with the password of the user where you are
connected to. The you're able to do ALL you're task in command mode. So,
when you the configuration of the pc are been done, then you can take an
leave the pc without the keyboard, monitor, mouse and continueing accessing
via the network with the 'ssh'.

I hope i help a little bit ;-)

Sorry for the bad english, i try to help...
