Hello to all of you Linux users out there!!

  I am somewhat familiar with Linux (but it has been a while).  At one point or another I ran SUSE 8,9, and 10 and REDHAT 4??  I am looking to get back to using Linux but I was wondering if one version or another was recommended for S@H and BOINC performance (faster :) ).

  I currently have disks for SUSE 10 (32 and 64bit) and I should still have the SUSE 9 disks kicking around.  For the convienience factor I am leaning towards SUSE but I would like to hear what others have to say about Linux builds. 

  If there are benchmarks that are available please let me know.

Thanks
Citroja

Hello!

I´m a Windows user, but I would like to take now Suse LINUX 10.1- 64 Bit.

So I don´t know about LINUX... :)

But I had a thread here about Windows or LINUX...

And maybe you can help me with my problem... :)

Greetings!

Simon:
Dirk, you mentioned some error messages.

Can you post them, maybe? Use the typewriter symbol in the editor to make a preformatted field, then paste it in there like

thirteen:~# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        256664     253216       3448          0      51988      84452
-/+ buffers/cache:     116776     139888
Swap:      1204864       3804    1201060
thirteen:~#

Because otherwise formatting of shell error messages just sucks.

Thanks, that would really help in tracking down your problem.

HTH,
Simon.

Dirk Sadowski:
Hello Simon!

Thanks for your support!

I would like only to test the 64 Bit Boinc and S@H app to look to the performance... :)

The error messages are only like:
Cannot find file... and so on...
I cannot explain correct now...

I was in the "Console with instructions" (Konsole) I name it like this... ;)
And then I wrote: sux
And then I had to write my root PIN
And then I wrote: yast -i /home/username/folder/boinc_5.4.9_opteron-64-linux-gnu
Then the "Console" was changed the color and the design and after a few seconds:
The file boinc_5.4.9_opteron-64-linux-gnu cannot be found... or like this... press OK

I cannot remember correct now...

Maybe I find little time later or I will do it again latest at Thursday...
So I know it better the messages...

But I think I´m the problem... ;)

Greetings!

EDIT:
I was looking here to find some infos:
http://de.opensuse.org/SDB:Programme_unter_SuSE_Linux_installieren
Point 10 and then 4...
But it does not help me... ;)
And I cannot find the program "KPackage"

Simon:
Well,

just don't use YAST then :)

The instructions I posted in the other thread should work, and not require yast. The package Stefan Urbat made is not a SUSE package, so you cannot install it with YAST. Rather, you unpack it somewhere, then run it. Go to the directory where you downloaded the archive to, then do this in a console or shell window:


--- Code: ---mkdir BOINC   # make a directory for BOINC
cd BOINC  # go into it
tar xfvj ../boinc5.4.9seti5.13-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2  # unpack the archive
mv boinc_5.4.9_opteron-64-linux-gnu boinc   # rename BOINC binary

--- End code ---

Then you can use the rest of my instructions in the other thread about how to attach and run BOINC.

If you get warnings/errors about missing libraries, please post them here as well, and we'll get you fixed up.

Regards,
Simon.
