That's very familiar to me and it's called Windows.
Windows XP and 2003 support headless mode. I don't think it's particulary difficult to do it, just implement a /dev/null graphics driver.
Oh BTW, Windows is getting their graphics subsystem out of the kernel (except the drivers of course) in Vista. The perfect time for people to start useless rants on whether Linux should include a graphic subsystem in the kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
