Live CD with default serial or ssh console



Hi,

at home I use a headless server, at which I connect to via ssh or
serial console. When I need to repair something that went wrong, I
need to disconnect the cables, remove the box from under my table and
connect it to the monitor of my daughter.

Anybody knows a Live or Restore CD that by default makes available a
serial or ssh console? Or a means to "fabricate" it?

Thanks in advance.
Jimmi
