I have a test server that sits in the corner of our office. I would like a extreme feedback device, which I like to call a 'screen', to show me the status of the build. Yes, it's boring compared to lava lamps and rabbits, but it's readily available and takes less faff to set up.
The machine is running Linux. Does anyone have any suggestions for software good at displaying nice big blocks of colour and text, easily visible across a room, in response to external events? My last resort is to write a bit of wxPerl, but I thought I would check to see what other people have done first.
