I have some desktops (the tower kind) lying around and I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can connect them all to one display and combine their computational power or at least make them all accessible in one place. I want to get into server hosting but only have one monitor. They’re currently running LMDE.

Any ideas?

    I’m thinking use it to host a Minecraft or matrix server. I’m not expierenced with networking so nothing super advanced.

      Matrix server is pretty complicated. You’ll need a reverse proxy, SSL certificates, and preferably a database like Postgresql. Minecraft would be a lot easier.

      Either way, a lot of it would involve the command-line anyway, so I would second the SSH suggestion. It’s fairly easy to set up. When installing Ubuntu Server for example it asks you right away if you want to install one.
