That particular flavor of linux will operate with or without a monitor. Others I have tried aren't nearly so reasonable. If you have another usb port available, you could get a monitor that will connect by usb or any of the other connectors like dvi or vga or hdmi and get an adapter for usb and your connection type and then be able to attach a monitor anyway. Another possibility that I suggest you have checked out in a shop if the machine has a single usb port is to buy a usb hub too and attach the hub to the computer then attach the keyboard and monitor to the hub. Real good to make certain it works before buying it though.
