    Re: Howto setup Folding@Home

    Thanks for the tut, I am a first time linux user and never coded a thing in my life so I know no command lines. After a couple of tries I got it to work and now I am folding away on my 7th machine (the others are some shape or form of windows)

    You're folding on the windows machines too, right?

    This is all quite impressive. I followed your instructions, and now my AMD 2GHz is folding away in the background. I can use the web and other things, and not even notice any slowdowns at all.

    Yeh the folding client is designed to only use cpu cycles that are unused, in other words idle cyles. So it should never interfere with any other activity.

    This is a really helpful Howto. I have followed it again for another machine I set and all went well again. Now I have 3 CPUs working on this.

    Thanks again.

    What would I have to change in the scripts to add flags? I'd like to add -forceasm -verbosity 9 .

    Re: Howto setup Folding@Home

    Adding flags is the next step in the scripts. I'll work on it in the next few days. I have already added it, but have not tested or debugged yet. PM me if you want a preliminary version.

    Yes I am folding with 8 processors right and hoping to add 3 in the next 2-3 weeks (waiting on a hub and a KVM switch). I am on the overclock.net team, I think we are in 60th place right now and I am 8th on the team. I have been folding for almost a year now and have over 200,000 points. My next project is a folding farm using one full pc as a server and the rest of the computers will not have video cards, or drives of any kind. Just a motherboard, processor, ram, nic, and PSU. I may even build a mount to put maybe 4 in one case.
