I could be convinced to use Mac OS X as a last resort, but never Windows. I've been burned too many times. I've run many an installation on Debian and I know that when I walk away, the thing will run for 3 months without me doing anything.

The screens we are currently specing are 1080p, so each output should
be able to do 1080. The idea is to have 10 contiguous screens all in
a line show one Gem space. They can show up on the computer as
contiguous or separate screens, that doesn't matter, I can handle the
difference in Gem. I think it might be easier to have them show up as
separate screens.I can break it up across multiple computers if that's easier, I'm
mostly trying to reduce the expense. I am just showing images, so not
heavy on the CPU/GPU..hc

hello,
with things like doublehead2go, or triplehead2go : http://www.matrox.com/graphics/fr/products/gxm/th2go/ you can easily have lot's of screen on 1 computer. (downside is that the screen are only horizontal)
i made a 6 screen installation with a 400€ desktop having good
performance. (GPU was a NVIDIA 9600 or something : only use nvidia gpu on linux
if you need good performance and are not afraid of proprietary
driver).but what is the resolution of the screen? to have a screen disposition like this : x x x x x x is less a problem than like this : x x x x x x The size of openGL windows is hardware limited. usually 4096x4096,
but can go up to 8192x8192 with GPU having lot's of memory (go for
1go video Ram).cyrille

like to run it on as few computers as possible. Anyone have any recommendations for Debian or Ubuntu setups that can have like many
