The streaming machine is pretty complex so:

Host machine Mac book pro ~ half a year to a year old (extremely good specs)
Host OS: OSX 10.10
Streaming software: OBS (the new cross platform version)
Music playing software: VLC on host
Now playing text exporter for VLC:

VLC to OBS: http://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/
VM system: Parallels 10
VM OS: Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon
Other software: Remarkable[0], git

Nothing really big difference between fresh install of the distro.

The font size is a bit off. What with the Retina resolution. But 
generally I have increased the font size up enough that people can see 
it well.
