of some kind. For remote administration I suspect Linux'd be a better bet.
That being said, what do you really need to administer? Buttons
Can anyone with experience in this area offer advice on hardware
and best distro - or indeed an alternative approach?

I don't know about any cost implications, though.
But would you really need to do any of

As an in-between, maybe a tablet could talk to a PC server, e.g., via
web browser etc., though that may create as many problems as it solves.
