Goal
These are some notes of my install of Linux Mint ( after dissatisfaction with Ubuntu ) on a small fanless PC. I want this box to run a variety of background utility tasks. Some of these are file services, media services and various iot functions.
I did not want a headless install, in fact I want it to be fairly similar to my windows desktop, and I wanted to be able to use Python on it much like I do on my windows machine and my various raspberry pi machines.
While I wanted a "head" on the machine I maninly wanted the "head" to run via VNC on a remote box. So if you want to do something similar this is what I did.
