[Solved] DF with 2 PCs, via some kind of remote?
« on: September 06, 2011, 06:24:06 am »

Hi folks. Here's the deal. I got my dirty little hands on a scrapped CPU that has amazing amounts of CPU cores, RAM, and things like that.
It also has an integrated ATI Rage 4MB video card and no way of adding another.

I figure it would be awesome for DF (?).

Question:

Can I somehow run DF on the server, and have the interface, remote, somewhere else on another (horrible) computer?
I tried with things like VNC/Teamviewer/Windoze Remote, but the controls and interface lag too much and it's not responsive enough.

Is there another way?
Say.... via a terminal similar Putty?

tldr:
Can I have Mighty CPU1 run all the DF computations and "puke" just the interface via some protocol to a Puny CPU2?

EDIT:
After a while, I found

Reading...

LATER EDIT:
Found about DFTerm.
Head asploded.
