Yes, I have multiple Linux (Slackware) boxes that I run headless. All my Macs have a monitor.

As Linux is not an option I did not vote though.

Not at the moment... but I had a Windows XP Pro box and a BSD Box connected to my KVM switch. I still use the KVM switch to "dock" my PowerBook (and whatever computer I need to repair or acquire). :)

I don't have any of my computers full headless. However since I have to switch around my usb keyboard and mouse between my pc and mac I frequently vnc to either so i dont have to switch them around.

I willl vote OS X mac but really depending on the situation it could be my pc or my mini running headless.
