LCDproc project is a server/client suite including drivers for all kinds of nifty LCD devices.

The server works with different display sizes and supports several serial devices: Matrix Orbital, Crystal Fontz, Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001 (kernelconcepts.de), Wirz-SLI and PIC-an-LCD; and some devices connected to the parallel port: HD44780, STV5730, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330.

Various clients are available that display things like CPU load, system load, memory usage, uptime, and a lot more. LCDproc also supports key or remote control input for controlling the clients.

The client and the server use a TCP connection to communicate, so it is possible to have a client on a box in Sweden showing its stats on a LCD display in the United States.

Requirements:
an ANSI C compiler, we recommend GCC
