This version uses what they call "synaptic package manager" I have spent a few hours tonight playing with that trying to whittle down unnecessary processes and drains on system performance. This computer basically is just for folding so stuff like printer support, audio and office type stuff all got removed. I knocked 15 items off the running processes list and freed up another 50meg of mem for f@h.
I knew Linux didn't have nearly the problems that a windows
os has with virus' and stuff. Just figured I'd ask about that one. I loaded it onto the hard drive for daily use, my cd drive is flaky at times and I didn't want to mess with running it as live cd all the time.
The problem I mentioned with only running 95% on the cores seems to be a bug with the 64bit Linux smp cores. I checked the Stanford forums and several people have mentioned this same problem and a cure is hopefully in the works.
Thanks guys for the help with my questions.
