  • The multiple power supplies are for redundancy. It will work with one plugged in but you are “supposed” to plug in both.

    It’s fundamentally not that different from a consumer desktop. Plug in a monitor and a keyboard and a USB with your preferred flavor of headless Linux installer on it. Configure ssh as the first thing you do because you won’t want to plug the monitor and keyboard into it every time you need to tweak something.

    You can probably find VGA to HDMI adapters if you can’t find a monitor with VGA support.













  • Tux can/should be in there, but make your character cast from a wide variety of public domain sources. Use real historical figures, classic literature, and mythology.

    Some specific ideas:

    • Thor (but not too much like the Marvel interpretation)
    • Poseidon
    • Dracula
    • Sherlock Holmes
    • Captain Blackbeard
    • Steamboat Willie (as of its copyright expiring)
    • T-Rex
    • Cthulu
    • Merlin the wizard
    • fairytale characters

    Also make a solid modding API to let people add their own characters, items, and stages.


  • You may be confusing git with GitHub.

    git is a version control tool that lets you keep and manage a history of the files you are editing

    GitHub is a website (not directly affiliated with the group maintaining git) that lets you upload, backup, and share your code using the format used by the git tool.

    source control just refers to software to manage your source code in some form. git is the most popular tool of its kind, but there are others, for example mercurial.
