Title: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: fc_flumpker on May 17, 2013, 10:44:38 AM What's the most trouble free linux distro for mining? I'll be using a 7970.
Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: Crystallas on May 17, 2013, 12:36:42 PM Any stable release, or a LTS release.
Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: crazyates on May 17, 2013, 02:29:08 PM Gentoo. Hands down.
OH man I crack myself up. Just download Ubuntu. A lot of people use 12.10, but 13.04 should work just as well. Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: -ck on May 17, 2013, 03:02:39 PM Actually Ubuntu 12.04 might be the least painful right now. Newer is rarely better for something of this nature.
Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: kxxxmxxx on May 17, 2013, 05:06:35 PM Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I liked 10.4 the best, but they stopped supporting it. Anything else is not so easy to use (although if you set up debian you are probably good to go for years without downtime) Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: fc_flumpker on May 17, 2013, 06:22:35 PM Thanks. I'll try Ubuntu. That's like Debian, right. I'm very familiar with Debian.
Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: lsvpa on May 17, 2013, 06:23:41 PM afaik ubuntu is based off debian testing. Get debian stable if you want ridiculous stability.
Title: Re: Most trouble free linux distro Post by: fc_flumpker on May 17, 2013, 08:24:12 PM If Debian is problem free for mining I'll use that. I prefer to anyway. Just looking for the best chance of a good fit for the GPU.
