Linux and F@H

[Little_Kenny]

I know this has been discussed before, but the search function isn't working right now. Are there any distros that work less well with F@H than others. I'm on the brink of jumping into the Linux pond and would rather get started with a distro that will play nice with my obsession/addiction.

Thanks for the help.

Fold On!

I'd like to know myself. I have limited HDD space, so going Linux as opposed to Windows is going to be a must. I need to set it up in a headless fashion, get my farm back up to 4 machines (plus my girlfriend's lappy and PC).

how do you get it to run?

I installed Mandrake 9.2 last night but I can't figure out how to use the linux console (its an exe?)

Buy this book: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runux4/


Get it from amazon though, it is cheaper. Or if you can find the fourth edition on half.com used then get it there. It is a great book.

Use Finstall to install F@H.

It makes installing F@H easy.
