How to use a single PC as a Desktop and a media center

jag7720 · 04-19-2011, 10:45 AM

I have a pretty powerful computer and GPU that I'd like to fully utilize.

I've been using Linux for the better part of 10 years and I'd like to know (as I can't think of a way) how I can use a single PC as a desktop AND a media center.

My vision would be to essentially have to separate workstations on one PC.

My desk monitor will be station one (desktop) and my TV will be station two (media center)... both should work independently of each other as if neither knows the other exists.

Thoughts or solutions????

Thanks

Hi,

Virtual would be a good fit for a problem or design of this sort.
