This thread is quite timely as I have been investigating using an Intel NUC (or some other mini PC) to control my mount and cameras in the observatory so that I can just remote in from inside the house. I must be getting old because standing around outside on a cold winter's night gets less and less appealing each year. I was originally thinking about putting Windows 10 on it but I baulked at the $250+ price tag for Win 10 Pro. That led me to thinking about Ubuntu and wondering if Linux versions existed for the software I use (Skychart: yes, PHD2: yes, ASI Studio: yes). So far so good. I guess the only question remaining is whether I can remote into Ubuntu easily from a Win 10 Home notebook.
This Astronomy Linux looks like just what the doctor ordered. I might install it onto an old PC I have lying around and test if I can remote desktop into it easily first before I buy the mini PC. Thanks for the heads up.
