From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But I run a summer festival on linux!

Tech drawings on QCad
Lights & previz on MagicQ
Emails etc on firefox

Our media servers are W7 (!) but I access them with VNC. And lots of screens/beamers here are on PI computers.

...then of course we need a windows laptop for the wireless mics, for the FoH configuration, the videowall, stuff like that. Mails and docs are google anyway, remote access is teamviewer.

I can't run it all on linux, even if I sit at a linux computer the most.

Instead of VNC can I recommend running xRDP ?

VNC over SSH is secure, but VNC over network is inherently insecure and exposes plaintext passwords.
