Hi all

are there any DIY guides for absolute beginners mining with ASICs, (just bought one, dunno how to move forward)

How to configure the miner to work with my Ubuntu?
Is there a possibility of remote accessing my miner attached to my pc?
How to use pools?

and so many others, so is there a some sort of guide or links, which I can browse through?

What miner did you buy?  There are a lot of great material and some are very easy just need to know what miner your talking about.

Credit goes to dogie on a great guide for this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=702653.0

It is a pretty easy setup.

Thnx a lot for the guide, I was also going through few other threads regarding load balancing and distributed mining using multiple pools:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623672.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395721
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78031.0

I have few more questions, can I attach 3 miners each with 1Th/s capacity and each one of them configured to mine on the same set of pools (BTCguild, Ghash.io, Slush)  to a single pc?

If yes, then hypothetically, will I have a combined 3Th/s capacity to be distributed to the set of mining pool at the same time?

Yes look at pool each can be different.  But you can have multiple workers on a pool.

As far as distributed set.... if you mean splitting and mining at multiple at once it is a whole different thing.  You can easily set up backup pools on the S3 but I'm not sure if you can do the quota rules on it and mine more then one at once.
