Hi, everyone. I have a Dell R900 server sitting unused on my bedroom floor. I had wanted to configure this machine as a multi-function video server.
Is Qubes a good operating system to put on a server, or is it intended only for workstations?
Is Qubes considered a variant of Linux?
I purchased two identical HDMI input/output cards. I hope to eventually have four of these.
I also have a Ceton cable-TV tuner card, which probably means nothing to those of you in Europe, because I believe it only works with the cable-TV technical standard we use in North America. I don’t think they ever came out with Euro-spec versions of their products.
Last time I looked, there was a Linux driver available somewhere for the Ceton, though it’s not officially supported by the company.
I purchased a 64GB memory upgrade for the machine, because it only came to me with 8GB.
And yes, I’m aware that there may be HDCP issues that will have to be dealt with down the road, but those are not my main concern at the moment.
My technical skills are such that I can understand and modify code written in machine language.
I actually did work at several jobs in the computer programming and operations area back in the 1980s, back in the punched-cards-and-magnetic-tape era of computing. I feel like a thawed-out,frozen caveman.
