Folding@home: which client are you running? - Club CDFreaks

**Arachne** · 20-06-2007

Zevia mentioned something in the Folding thread which got my curiosity going...so who's running what?

Edit: added/edited options

**zevia** · 20-06-2007

Windows SMP client on all PCs now.

Was running VMWare/Ubuntu/Linux clients on XP 32bit but switched to Windows SMP client due to system slowdowns.

*****
How about a Poll?

great idea for a poll Arachne

right now I'm SMPing in Suse 10.2 (dual boot), for some reason VMware was making my rig unstable even when it wasn't running

when I do go into windoze its running 2x console

I was running the linux console on my spare parts, but they're back in the closet now waiting for me to stop procrastinating and sell them

(I just know as soon as they're gone something will crap out on me

)

I was also running the windoze GUI on my P4, but it has been shifted to WCG

*Bob* · 20-06-2007

Why not the SMP client in Windoze?

its still a little too buggy for my taste, and I don't really want a password on my windoze account

Ah yeah it's crashed on me twice. Luckily I lost no work

It is a bit annoying having a password on my Windows account, but nothing really major (for me).

**jwill427** · 20-06-2007

I've never had a single problem with the linux client, and back when I first got my dual core I ran smp for weeks at a time without rebooting or restarting the client, pretty impressive for a beta

hopefully when the v. 6 clients come out there will be a big improvement for winsmp

EDIT: w00t another one finished as I was typing

To avoid typing password during Windows startup: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread....08#post1798208

Also check post#11 with no password but I haven't try it yet.
