I use blackbox in the control room of a nuclear power plant in
Switzerland. The system runs on Linux, but the operators have Win* PCs
with several pieces of software. Among them, they run a VNC viewer
that displays their session on Linux.

I chose blackbox because of its lightweight and how easy it is to
create a very limited set of menus (I don't want operators fooling
around with Sokoban! :-). We run 8 sessions in parallel on the server,
and we want to keep available as much resources as possible, as the
server has to run heavy calculations every 5 minutes.

This setup has been running for 3 years now, without any problems.
Last month we upgraded the server to Fedora Core 3 and blackbox 0.7.
