Greetings,
I have a PC (i7-990x/24GB/GTX580) to be dedicated 6 - 8 hours a day for Einstein@home -mostly- and other projects, my OS options are Win7, RHEL6.1, and LinuxMint11, which one do you recommend?
Currently I'm trying LinuxMint11 with BOINC manager installed straight from ubuntu-rep, ver 6.10.59, but without 32libs, which resulted in 'error' installing the libs fixed this issue for Gravitational Wave S6 GC Search 1.01 (SSE2), nevertheless, I still can't get any WU for the GPU.
BOINC manager initial message:

I set BOINC to [Run always] , [Use GPU always] yet:

Surely, I'm missing something here,
Thanks in advance.

GPU work units process faster in Linux than Windows from my experience. Any Linux distro should be okay provided you have 32-bit libc installed.
Currently there is no work available for GPU. The GPU work units were just recently switched to BRP4 and new work has been limited from what I can see. Hopefully we'll see a greater number of available work units in the coming days.
Hi, As far as i can see,

Hi,
As far as i can see, your PC got a few CUDA tasks today but they all errored out. Probably you need to install 32 bit runtime libs for your system, as all the GPU apps are 32 bit only at E@H.
