Linux for borg

s1ugh34d · 16-June-06, 10:00 AM

I need to know a simple linux i can use that will allowF@H to run on some older P@ and P# machines, they all have very memory and even 98 uses too much to get F@H to run full potential

How about most of these?

seems like they would run with a small memory footprint and I've heard good things about Damn Small Linux.

A pc that old and slow would take two weeks or longer to complete a WU.
It would just use more electricity than it would really be worth. IMO.

I ran a 400mhz borg, took it 9 days to complete a 150ish pointer.

all of my borgs ar running 24/7 and take estimated 3-5 days to complete a 241 point 400 frame WU, its always worth it, and plus a good cause always exceeds the electricity bill, besides playing with pletiers daily and running 14 computers, as well as a central air conditioner, my bill is very slightly affected, F@H comes first IMO

DSL is one of my choices, but can i get the linux F@H(.exe) to run on it

I dont see why not. Shouldn't take very long to find out.
You could try Puppy linux also.
