This is her home laptop not her work desktop which is still Windows. She actually said it was okay if all our machines went Linux!! She liked all the 'new' games especially. She is in her early 50's and is a Windows ONLY person!! I took her Windows laptop away and didn't give her a choice, after the initial bitching she used it for 3 weeks before I gave her the Windows machine back. The disadvantage of Ubuntu is that for knowledgeable Linux folks it may be too Windowsy! My wife who never, ever saw Linux before was able to use Ubuntu on a laptop I installed it on without any problems. The advantage of Ubuntu is that us non Linux users can get it up and crunching in under an hour. Should not be a problem to crunch with one BOINC installation so. You could also install different distributions and boot then through grub until you find the one thats fits your needs best. I also only heard good about it, its a derivate of the enterprise version anyway. I have it on my root server and installed it on the pc of my son, other hosts will follow. If you need an init script I can post it here.Īnd if you like to try OpenSuse then use 11.1. I also think, that the recommended BOINC Client(6.4.5) ist pretty bad! I had a lot of problems with cache on an Intel I7 until I upgrated to 6.6.37. I carry my init-script from version to version. It is very simple to integrate any BOINC client into OpenSuse. Since opensuse doesn't appear to have or support a BOINC client I probably won't go that route. From what I've seen ubuntu seems like a very logical choice. for many years and very familiar with linux also. Not new to linux.I've been a senior UNIX adm.
