I've personally used it, and it's very impressive. You need a special monitor and a GPU that supports it. It pretty much eliminates screen tearing and frame-draw lag.

Anything in-between we're missing? I got it to download to the server, but not install, it says that No such directory exists when I tell it to install via the rpm -ivh pertino-client-prod-271.4.x86_64.rpm command line.

I'll do a ton of research on this, GPU's are my thing.

Got it working, thanks guys.

I have no idea where it came from, I was just told to put Mint on it Everything else works perfectly, plugins and system tools all. But it says the NIC cable is unplugged. I checked the connections from the machine all the way to the Modem, and everything is fine.
