Hello everyone, please spare some time to give some advice Smiley

What is the best OS to control ETH mining farm with 20+ hosts?

There are windows 7s installed on most of the PCs and it's hard to remotely control them, most problems come in when one of the host freezes.
I use claymore's miner to mine ETH only. Claymore's monitoring software I installed on my home server which is connected to farm with VPN and I can monitor them when I'm at home, I also use python scripts that sends me e-mail and sms when something is wrong on site. At first everything seems to be fine, but I know I need a lot of work to do there. First I'm interested what would be the best OS to install on hosts and why? Also if there are any solutions to remotely reboot freezed host just like I can power them up with Wake On Lan packets (settings from bios are changed, the host PCs power up themselves whenever electricity goes down). I'm new to ETH mining so if these questions are obvious sorry for that, I need to somehow maintain that farm.

there are ways to power off and power on the pc's

some pdus' allow for turn on and turn off.

I have some 8 plug 30 amp pdus that can be turned on and off via an ethernet connection.

server technology 

https://www.servertech.com/   

 would allow for power fully off up to to 8 pc's in one pdu   with windows 7 set to reboot for a black out they may have exactly what you want.

this would be a best solution I guess, Thank you for your advice.  I could not find them locally so I think I have to buy them online.

It means I can remotely reboot any host right?
And what about the OS? I tried etherOS, but to be honest it's too complicated to me, so I decided either win7 or win10 which one is better

Windows 10 all the way if you are using RX 4XX series cards. Bios mods, settings tweaks are all waaay easier in windows.

all of them are RX 480s, I heard that BIOS mods can be made with specific version of driver is that right ? Or are there any instructions to follow them step by step ?
