I'm into F@H, and have come across the Sabayon Linux distro....and it looks pretty sweet. However, F@H was one of the reasons I rationalized rebuilding my PC, and I would hate for a more intense OS such as Sabayon to eat all that power. When the system is Idle, does Beryl eat extra resources that could be put to use folding?

Sabayon + Folding
- Thread starter Grathrax
- Start date
only if u use stuff that required yr GPU and the CPU.
if you really want to use that, you won't be using the desktop most of the time, you could just stop X (/etc/init/xdm stop) and run folding from the command-line. Then when you come back re-start X

X+Beryl will not eat up enough resources to slow down your folding projects, but you can give your projects a higher priority while they are running also. If you're gonna mainly do folding and would prefer not to have a DESKTOP then just don't setup saboyon with the X windows environment.

Thing is that most of Sabayon's appeal has to do with X. The machine isn't a folding box, I use it for everything and even boot it to XP for games a few times a week. It's just I'm a broke ass college kid so I needed more of an excuse to myself than games and linux tinkering to get another machine in addition to my iBook.
So I guess X and Beryl take negligible amounts of resources when the system is idle and not rendering snazzy windows, etc, and I really shouldn't worry about it?
