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.

Hmm that isn't a bad idea though, I recently got a hold of a small server, I don't have great cooling for it though. How secure would this be to do over a WAN?
pretty much as secure as running steam link on any device. it's basically an optimized remote desktop that runs through steam. I imagine it uses TLS or something for encryption, but it's not like you're giving it any access beyond whats on your screen and your keystrokes in game. I have not yet tried it over WAN but I imagine the quality would suffer compared to something local unless you have gigabit or better ISP hookup on both ends.
What are the specs of the server you got? Does it have any pcie expansion? You'll still want a box that is pretty much the equivalent of your desktop, but tucked away in a rack or well vented closet.
Yeah it doesn't even have a GPU built in, that's fine. Thanks for the recommendation though.
