Hello, The only problem I have found on the various projects is the lack of Linux users to validate the units quickly. There are VASTLY more Windows users and therefore the chance of getting a quick turnaround is greater. When I ran Ubuntu it was faster than Windows but since I am a LONG TIME Windows guy I have gone back to it for all of my currently running machines. I DO have a few Ubuntu machines, they are all cruncher only machines, waiting to run but I am out of power! If I plug in any more machines the circuit breakers blow! ORRR the outlet covers get too hot to touch, and THAT IS REALLY, REALLY BAD!!! |
