Dont use ubuntu 12 if this is a dedicated mining rig. Backporting older drivers may not work, and even if it does, its gonna be way above your head.

My advice: install ubuntu 12.04 on your primary desktop or laptop to get familiar with it. But for the mining rig, have a look at BAMT or even good old linuxcoin.

If for some reason you need a full desktop and HDD install on the mining rig, use an older version of (x)ubuntu like 11.10. It will install older drivers and sdk, which are better for mining.

Just updated the guide.

Thanks for feedback!

That is the easiest tutorial for Ubuntu / Xubuntu 12.04

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/edit

if you get some wierd liburl 4 error type:

sudo apt-get install curl

that solves the problem.

I hope that helped.

If it did: 1DoqqekDSuVM3hEet396rjqFypb63SHoS9 is my adress.
