    I've done it on RHEL and CentOS (Fedora is much the same).

    Trigggl, have you ever done a Minimal Ubuntu Install? I just found it existed! I think this could be a better platform for an Ubuntu GPU cruncher. Maybe not as compact as Gentoo but decidedly better than a full Ubuntu install.

    My Dell came with a full Ubuntu install. When I switched to 64-bit, I did a full install.

    On my two main computers (Dell with upgraded processor and new pc with old overclocked processor) I have a full Gentoo install. The twins running Gentoo at DrPop's place and the PS3 are the closest things I've done to a minimal install, but I put the Gnome window manager on all 3.

    Well I had to reinstall fedora, since I didn't install the 64 bit version first. To get nvidia drivers to work with boinc, this is what I did.



    Fedora core 15
    Login as root
    Config yum to use RPM Fusion

    rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm
    rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfr...ble.noarch.rpm

    Follow this:

    http://fedoraunity.org/solved/video-...vidia-yum-kmod

    Now Nvidia drivers are running

    change the following in /etc/selinux/config
    SELINUX=permissive

    change this next in the start section just before the daemon statement of /etc/init.d/boinc-client

    sleep 6
    export DISPLAY=:0.0
    xhost +

    reboot
