Sometimes two cents is worth a whole bunch more! Keep it coming.
I'm moving 2500 miles all the way to Washington State where my son lives. We want to be closer and it's easier for me to move since I'm retired.
Tomorrow I'm trying out JS and the program for SSH and such.

Please keep this thread going with a how-to if you use "JS", is that Java Script? I have some pc's running Linux Mint as well but since they are all close together in a room I have 3 monitors that can reach all of my pc's. I would love to be able to check on them sitting here in my family room on my Windows laptop instead of walking into the garage to do it.
JS is BoincTasks JS. Yes, it's written in javascript so it can run on anything. It's my understanding that it's short a bit on features compared to regular BoincTasks, but I haven't installed it yet so I don't know for sure.
Excellent idea. A how-to would be a fun little project even though I'm no technical writer.

Edit: Mikey, I just checked your computers and you have a variety, including Windows machines. You could also use the "regular" version of BoincTasks since it is a Windows only program.
The only 'feature' I miss of the regular Windows BoincTasks is the daily/weekly tally of completed tasks per host. The BoincTasks JS application does not have that.
The menus are laid out slightly differently compared to the Windows version and the UI is slightly different.
I haven't forgot about your request, Mikey. It's just going to be awhile. I joined a different team and have been switching back to Ubuntu to run their software. Working my way around the learning curve.
My initial try at using it I found out I need to work on my network and do some permission stuff.

But easy to adapt to in my opinion.

I still plan on doing it, though.
