best OS for bitcoin mining?

[miningDwarf]

Which is best of bellow mentioned for btc mining:

CentOS Linux   
Debian Linux   
Ubuntu Linux
Windows
OS X

[dziub_dziubek]

GNU/Linux in console mode, e.g. Ubuntu server. But no cpu and gpu btc mining;)

[blacksails]

Yeah, some linux distro. The less system resources it takes, the better! But you're a bit late for bitcoin mining. Why not try some alt-coin?

why i am too late for bcoin mining?
according to calculations with 50ghz i should make 1 btc/month

[KrisTester]

Difficulty is getting higher. It's not profitable to mine BTC.

[bitcoin44me]

OS does not really matters, equipment matters ...

Which linux distro do people use the most?

[miningDwarf]

what is alt coin?

as i understand btc coin is this long 0.000000
and alt coins goes after . all 0 ? right?

Doesn't make any difference since you can only mine with asics now. Not that it made any difference before that anyway

so the alt coins what they are?

why i am too late for bcoin mining?
according to calculations with 50ghz i should make 1 btc/month

Yeah, but the difficult almost doubles every month. And first you have to buy expensive mining tools, wait for them to arrive, and by that time the difficult has increased so much you can't possibly break even. And even if you have it now you still have to pay electricity.
Sure, you might break even, and maybe even make some profit, but that won't be much. But if you decide to mine it's good for the network though.

so the alt coins what they are?

Alternative coins. If you want to use an ASIC you have to stick to the sha-256 coins for example TerraCoin (same algorithm as Bitcoin).
Then you have script coins, with Litecoin as the biggest and feather coin and such things. You can't mine these with ASIC miners, so you have to use GPU. Your best shot is to find some scrypt-coin with low difficult and mine these. It's still risky though.

1.Yeah but what if I rent 3 dedicated servers, 16ghz each and I would pay for all 3 servers like 130e per month and I dont have to pay any other things like electricity or any other. Would that be possible?

If it costs 130€ for all three it probably is! Just watch out for big difficult raises!

No, bitcoin has is this long : 0.00000001 btc = 1 satoshi.

Altcoins are other coins like LTC, and so on. They have nothing to do with btc. They are different ...

1.can you recommend good mining software?
2.and by the way how do i set gpu via dedicated server?

Sorry, I don't really know the technical parts

[miningDwarf]

Anyone know this info?

1.can you recommend good mining software(program) like guiminer but something else maybe?
2.and by the way how do i set gpu via dedicated server?

Please I need this info

I think it Will be windows. For best mining performance you will need the best drivers for your GPS, which are at the moment only for windows.

[dupee419]

linux is the way. DO NOT use OpenSuSe. I use it and the biggest issue with suse is that some of the dependencies for various coins are hard as hell to find.

I suggest Arch Linux or Ubuntu for mining purposes. Use ubuntu if you've never run linux before.

not true. up to date linux drivers are available from AMD and incredibly easy to install.
