Title: loopback adapter?
Post by: god_43 on April 08, 2013, 07:10:41 PM
i know you need a loopback adapter with windows, but do you need one with linux? fgor a dedicated miner is linux better? or are there differences with regards to hash power?



thanks.

What kind of loopback adapter? A network loopback adapter? Windows and all Linux distros that I've used have a network loopback adapter configured and enabled by default. It's what you use when you do something like "ping localhost".
