Building a Little Budget Cruncher

[Aux10]

Well I'm think I'm going to try switching to Ubuntu. I found this which seems like the solution but I keep getting errors about missing libraries, files, and directories. I patched every library error I could but kept getting directory errors during the test phase causing it to utterly fail all test. I decided to try installing it anyway but I messed up the X Server. Since a lot of stuff was written for Ubuntu I'm gonna try installing it on that and see if it works.

Well switching to Ubuntu did help a lot and made the .utest program actually run but unfortunately it fails all the tests due to directory errors. It seems to be related to some chipset specific directories (drm/i914). Unless anyone knows how to fix this I guess I'm going to have to give up unless I get around to coughing up the cash for a copy of Windows.

If it's just a cruncher, I am sure one of us can get you a free copy of XP64.

It's a dedicated cruncher. I have no plans to use it for anything else what so ever. I'm planing to build a new gaming PC when Skylake comes out so it's no where near the power that thing will have. Heck. my current PC is slightly more powerful than this. (and a much bigger energy hog.)

I FINALLY got the damn thing working! I was able to get a free copy of Windows Server 2008 R2 from Microsoft's Dreamspark education program. It took some tinkering but I was finally able to get Kuro Chan to crunch at full power! YAY!
