[Tfug] Video Kiosk

[Predrag Punosevac]

For the hospital thing you need $25 OMS pentum 4 and $40 intel mother  
boards unless you are planning to
run malware and spay-ware on Windows boxes.

Once the thing is properly configured (idiot proof) there is no difference  
running VLC on Debian, FreeBSD or Windows.

Opterion with 4 cores is going close to $250 and quad core around $270 on  
new egg.
What are you trying to do?
Bare in mind that only few OS are capable of recognizing more than 4Mb of  
RAM. AMD version of FreeBSD is one of them.
So for high level computing actually the AMD might be better choice if you  
have 8 cores let say and 8-10 Mb of RAM on the serious mother board.
But what are you going to do with that monster?
