Hi everyone! I haven't really been able to find what I'm looking for by the means of google, and I'm not even sure if this exists. So basically, I have 3 desktops that I run all at the same time for different purposes. One is my gaming computer, one is an experimental computer that I'm still working on (right now I just want to use it to offload tasks...video rendering and backups, stuff that takes a lot of time and power), and finally a server that can host multiplayer game servers and such. Anyways, to my point: is there an application I can use to monitor all these and send tasks to them? Just something to show me simple information, like maybe what's it running on it right now, maybe a screen monitor, stuff like that. Thanks for all the help as I am new in this category of computers. Maybe this application/program doesn't exist, but I got the idea of it possibly being out there and thought it was worth a shot to ask the community. Thanks again!

Sounds to me like you wish to use remote desktop. Windows has a built-in one available on Professional editions and above. Linux and FreeBSD operating systems have Secure Shell which can also handle graphics if the appropriate software is installed.
