Hi Mo

As most have said turn it into a Non-Gui Server, 1st bit of fun would be 
to set it up as an SSH server you can have hours of fun logging in and 
messing around just with that alone.

Start to learn stuff like 'screen' scour the net for text only apps like 
  Htop, Mutt, MC (Midnight Commander) Vim etc.
