Can I mine Litecoins without interfering with my Bitcoin mining (without slowing it down)?

Where can I download Linux and Windows mining software?

Where can I get wallet that can hold both Bitcoin and Litecoin?

you cant

unless your talking about cpumining ltc and gpu mining btc

also i dont think there is a client that has both

just download the btc and ltc clients

Thanks guys, I'm now mining it on a Windows PC.

Now I'm looking for a way to mine on linux servers are well, as well as a good pool.

Any suggestions welcome.

You can easily use minerd [google it] for cpu mining, I think it exists on linux.
as far as a pool take a look at ltc.kattare.com

Nice pool, but I'm looking for a PPS.

It was mining at 14.5 Khash/s , then changed and stayed at 4.5.

Isn't is too low for Intel i5?

here is a couple of good pps pools

http://litecoinpool.org/
http://ltc.xurious.com/

what i5 is it?

also, if you need pools

if you are not good with doing commands and want a gui miner for ltc you could use this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=62414.0 just put the newest version of poolers miner in the directory

Too bad Litecoinpool is not taking new miners now, they're website is quite neat.

I've signed up to Xurious, but it seems will take some time before I can receive anything from them as the minimum payout is 10LTC.

Why their PPS rates are so far apart?

Luxirious is 16x greater than Litecoinpool!!  :o

0.00089567 / 0.00005483 = 16

I've got it working, though my hash rate is pretty low and it seemed to interfere with my bitcoin mining as it was getting new work in a slower fashion and that resulted in lower bitcoin hash rate.

So I probably won't be running it on my Windows machine, but instead on a linux server, trying to compile Cpuminer on it as we speak.

k um i think xurious runs a higher share difficulty than litecoin pool so thats why the pps rates are so different

Notroll.in is good. Pps rate is just below Xurious. I don't think he has a minimum withdrawal limit.

Isn't the difficulty dictated by the network like bitcoin?

Theres little point mining LTC on CPU's, as most miners use GPUs.  It was a farce that Litecoin was meant to be CPU friendly/GPU prohibitive.

interesting, I may give it a try as a miner !  Any hint, prefered miner, settings ?

any help will be appreciated, I could tip with fresh mined LTC ;)

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/

cgminer --scrypt -o website:port number -u Username -p password --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 5760 -g 1 --intensity 19

better use --shaders instead of --lookup-gap and --thread-concurrency when configuring cgminer

Can I mine Bitcoins with a FPGA and Litecoins with my GPUs all on the same rig?

i don`t see why not, you will need to use 2 instances of cgminer or maybe a cgminer for the LTC and cgminer-fpgaonly for BTC
