That was the same error I got with Ubuntu 10.04. I never did get it to work.
 
I got no clue.... I'm running 10.04 in a VM on my 930 and it runs great.

Did you strip something out of the OS that you shouldn't have?
 
Yeah i saw that thread, but unfortunately Tear's fix doesnt work for me.
Also it should be noted that its not a proper fix, but a workaround.

someone suggest a diferent distro?
 
Ubuntu 9.04, with the same type of install you were looking at for 10.04.
 
I assume he has more than 8 cores available and wants to run bigadv. Or, he doesn't want to pay for multiple Windows keys.

OpenSUSE 64

My recommendation as well. I've never had a problem with openSUSE and I've been running pretty much every version since 10.1. I currently have 11.2 running on my server and all of my VMs for folding have been 10.2, 10.3, 11.0, 11.1 or 11.2. Never have I once had a problem with folding. I also ran 10.2 and 10.3 as the primary OS on my main system for a year or more.

My only suggestion is to stay the hell away from KDE4. I personally think it's a steaming pile of shit and that doesn't change no matter what distro you are running or what version of KDE4 it has.

If you want a slimmer install of openSUSE, get rid of all the multimedia stuff and anything else that it looks like you won't need during the install. Just make sure you select a custom install. It may take you a little while to figure out what you don't need during the install but it's worth it.

 
Well opensuse is downloading......extremely slow. Damn these mirrors suck.
O well should be done when i get home from work.

Does opensuse use the same commands as ubuntu as far as installing packages? ie Sudo aptitude?

I always torrent my openSUSE ISOs and normally manage to max out the downstream connection at 2.4MB/sec. I almost always find torrents to be much faster for me. It's nice being able to grab a full DVD ISO in about a half hour.

No, openSUSE does not use the same commands for package management. The package manager is completely different as it doesn't use Debian .debs and instead uses the .rpm system. Also, the package manager for openSUSE is Yast. The only real downfall to package management for Yast is that it has a tendency to be slow when updating repos. However, once the repos are updated, it's not a problem. It's also not much of a problem with the normal openSUSE repos. It only gets bad when you start adding in a bunch of other repos which you don't normally need for a folding system.

I've personally found Yast to be the best overall system management program out there. In many ways it works very similar to Control Panel in Windows and for the most part, just about anything you can configure for system settings can be done in Yast.

openSUSE is a popular distro with a lot of online resources. Ubuntu may have more online resources overall, but openSUSE resources usually have anything I need to find.
 
In my admittedly limited experience with various Linux distro, I would say that as long as you don't try to do anything too "cute", you will be fine regardless of which package manager the distro uses. Running Folding@Home should fall into this category.
 
another vote for openSuse, I am running 11.2 for all of my native linux boxes. I run a text mode only install and its fairly light weight.
