Yes, the client is slightly bloated, but -> there's also a Windown version for computers in the office ;) lol

Nevermind, every little CPU power helps. I will connect to it, too, asap.

Also worth mentioning that there are different clients depending on your cpu type. SMP is for powerfull multi-cores (not atoms!) for example Intel i7.

EDIT: And for those of you with powerfull GPU's there's a GPU client, although not officially supported on linux, you are asked if you would like to enable both multicore and GPU support with the AUR package.

For those using arch linux see these:

AUR package
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/foldingathome/

The most important file to edit is the /etc/fahclient/config.xml

Just found out your stats are only uploaded to the server when you have completed a single WU (work unit).
http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/#ntoc18

So it will take a while before the pages for individual and team scores are updated.

haha, GPU support under linux is unsupported and apparently buggy, also i have no way to change the fan speed once X is started with the nvidia driver, so i have to use windows for the GPU so i dont cook my card :P

They're called FAHControl (uppercase FAHC) and FAHViewer, and they get installed in /usr/bin.

So i've been averaging 495 points per day with my gpu according to windows, and a further 600 or so with the cpu.

Today i rebooted the machine to update linux, then back into windows to carry on folding, but now the ppd has gone up to some crazy number!

Anyone else had this happened to them? And ive done some searching but so far not sure what is causing this.
