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.
