Computer for VNC Client only

Hello,

I have a project where I need 3 computers (CLIENT) to access a single other computer (SERVER). The SERVER run VNC Server and the 3 CLIENTS run VNC Viewer. The CLIENTS only need to connect to the network and the only application that will ever run on the CLIENT computer is a VNC Viewer. I don't need to interact with the OS.
My idea is to build a Linux without GUI and to autostart a VNC Client software.
Any suggestion on how to build the CLIENT? Software and hardware suggestion?

Thanks

Hello and thanks

Yes that is exactly what I used before. However, I would prefer not to have a Window OS. So I dont need antivirus, Windows Update and possible crash. The idea I'm working on now is to use a Raspberry PI and some sort of Linux.

If you will not allow this windows to go to internet (let say remove gateway from NIC properties) and windows will be installed with all drivers and will not run any other software then chance to get it crashed or infected is close to 0%

But if you still want to run Linux then you can do it also, but my knowledge about Linux is limited, sorry :)
