Thanks @robi thought i'd try it.
After running for nearly 18 hours...ubuntu 14.04.1
BRP5 tasks at x3 are averaging
6770s (driver version 15.5)
vs
6672s (driver version 14.9)
so may be a little slower, but I liked the fact they are distributed on a .deb (four files for ubuntu) - plus .rpm (RHEL) and .run (others).
Much more stable than than 14.12 - for me anyway.
They haven't fixed the missing libOpenCL.so library, so boinc-client still needs help to find OpenCL.
AMDOverdriveCtrl - My favourite "AND" software, works fine.
I'll probably stay with it.
