We recently talked about the lowest-end hardware we’d be willing to use as a daily desktop machine, but what about headless boxes? It turns out that it depends on what exactly it’s doing and to what extent we have to actively interact with it. Ultimately we could probably use slower hardware than we actually do if it came to it.
