@chrysophylax: I am considering changing over from kopiemtu, as the developer seems to have left the project, and compiling with each new ccminer release was very difficult and wrought with errors. I am considering using VNC or Teamviewer and throwing a boot HDD onto each of my two Maxwell rigs, so I can still run them headless.
that was the main consensus for us to move to a well known distro and work it from there ... the plus side is simply that when you are finished with the machine - sell it as a basic workstation ... 6 of our machines are going to ebay very shortly as we changed from amd to nvidia ...
our workers run fedora 19 x64 - with the latest ccminer from sp ( its one of the best forks out there ) - and run really well ... one machine with two gogabyte 750ti oc lp cards for testing and recompiling also has two hard drives for booting and compile / testing in fedora 20 x64 as well as fedora 19 x64 ...
in any case - we only have 4 workers left with amd cards - which we keep running with sgminer and wolf's bins and optimizations ...
all of the workers that are nvidia are ALL 750ti oc ( mostly lp with the exceptions of 2 workers ) ...
this means that when an update comes through - we can test on the dev machine and if it tests fine - roll out ( just via a copy using rsync ) to the rest of the machines and reboot the farm ...
if we were to use windows and teamviewer / vnc - we would be taking more than 3 times as long to complete this - as all the systems are linux based - headless - and only require ssh to log in work on them ...
we started with one test machine and have expanded over time ... so from the forefront - the last thing that i intended was to complicate things by using windows - and it DOES complicate the setup ( as opposed to linux ) no matter how anyone puts it ...
to speed things up and run autonomously - the moment the headless workers start - they mine ... all of them ...
and maintenance is a simple affair with linux ...
how were you looking at creating your build? ...
