Evil needs a little team help
In the begining, Evil ran all his boxen diskless ...and it ran very well...for the most part ...
I decided to install hard drives in my systems, so i could get rid of the flash drives ..
(Flash is great but they fill up fast, which ment if i rebooted my boxen after 10 days of running i lost a WU)
Was also harder to overclock - no way to monitor temps and such ..
I have XP on most of my boxen .... which has been running very well ..
Running two SMP clients native with affanity changer
I know that Linux client is faster .. but I have 0 knowledge of how to use it - never have ..
Can any reccomend a good linux distro to use for folding boxen.....
I only have to requiremnts .. since they are headless .. have to learn / install so sort of remote resktop .. (I use RADMIN for my XP boxen now - awesome program) .. read that VNC might work .... not sure ...
Also, I know with XP 64 my PCI video Cards (ATI Rage 8MB) does not work .. not sure if Linux 64 will have same problem?
Stick with XP ... or go Linux ... or what ...
Thoughts .... Help ... Please
