#1 Kubuntu 8.04 64 bit
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 8:33 am
Well I finally did it. I got Kubuntu 8.04 64 bit working on one of my Q6600's. It was actually quite easy after I had a fit and started clicking everything on the desktop. I looked up and saw the familiar Boinc Mgr screen. The neat thing is, I never had to go into terminal mode.
Now for the dangerous stuff.
1. Can I get the optimized Seti running on it? So far I can't find where to put the optimized app.
2. Can I get Boinc Mgr to startup automatically on a re-boot?
3. How long will it take me to delete the old Windows Vista crap?
(about 2 seconds) PS: This PC has an un-activated version on it.
No more worries there.
4. Just how many machines do I convert to Linux?
5. The only problem I have is that Linux does not recognise my
wireless USB adapters. The machine I got running is a direct
connect to my router.
6. This is fun.
