Both of them have their own small displays, and the faster box (Devuan)
is also attached to a big TV for presentations. The presentation room is
kinda small theatre and the audience tend to sit far away in the last
rows. (So they can easily smoke & drink while I talk.) And apart of my
presentations everybody can sit in a front of local display, no problem
with that.
But the idea is not to disconnect/reconnect each
machine from the TV to switch different distro, instead I want to run Devuan
as a 'proxy' for Ubuntu to appear on TV as a second option.
No need for a second machine! No need for them to communicate over a cable!
You can have some of the seniors tinkering on one machine while you tinker on
the other!
It's complicated at this stage for total beginners in Linux. That's not
my point. As I said, I already have two machines, each as dual-boot,
wired in between, each having its own display, printer, etc. So it's
just a proper software package issue.
PS: I have already made some tests with remote desktops in my home LAN
(mixed Debian and Ubuntu machines, also in dual-boot combinations). And
I only had to add x11vnc server packages to them, and used clients I
already had on those machines ("Vinagre is a remote desktop viewer for
the GNOME desktop"), and it works! So I planned to do the same with
Devuan. Nothing else than that.
