1 I have only ever used virtualbox
2 It is a very long time since I heard of anyone testing but HT on was worth 130% points and double runtime
3 yes linux likes HT
4 No need to run Boinc on host unless you are prone to power outages
I have one windows rig for similar reasons

little mermaid,

Non, pas de smartphone. Mon téléphone portable est tellement simple, qu'il ne peut pas recevoir les MMS ! Je dois passer par Internet sur mon PC pour les voir. A coté, il est tombé trois fois dans la rivière, et fonctionne toujours. Pour cruncher plus, il me faudrait un PC de plus, et j'essaye de voir d'en récupérer un.

TLD,

Je n'y connais rien en machine virtuelle, mais pour ce qui est d'utiliser des programmes windows sous Linux, il y a WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator). C'est assez compliqué à configurer, mais son avantage, comme son nom l'indique, c'est que ce n'est pas un émulateur. Il simule la Base de Registre, etc, mais ça reste Linux qui fonctionne, et les performances associées.

Juste pour information, si ça peut t'aider à migrer vers Linux, que c'est quand même bien mieux. Mais se renseigner avant, que WINE, c'est toute une histoire pour le configurer comme on veut.

I do not know anything about virtual machines, but when it comes to using windows programs under Linux, there is WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator). It's pretty complicated to set up, but its advantage, as its name suggests, is that it's not an emulator. It simulates the registry, etc., but it stays Linux running, and the associated performance.

Just for information, if it can help you migrate to Linux, it's still better. But inquire before, that WINE, it's quite a story to configure it as one wants (we want ?).



OldChap,

Merci pour les statistiques, que je pense qu'on est beaucoup à ne pas trop faire attention. Enfin, personnellement, du moments que mes deux PCs sont à fond, à part participer au forum, je ne fais pas plus. Mais c'est bien plaisant, de voir qu'on participe à ça ! Votre team 2ème, ça me ferait plaisir, comme SNURK and friends qui a été 4ème au THOR challenge.

Thank you for the statistics, that I think we are very much not paying too much attention. Finally, personally, the moments that my two PCs are thoroughly, apart from participating in the forum, I do not do more. But it's nice to see that we participate in that! Your team 2nd , it would make me happy, as SNURK and friends who was 4th in the THOR challenge.

Many people are smart enough to live their lives without being controlled by a smartphone, stefada,
- mine is not as water resistant as yours - she should be - still she survived going under water once

Good Morning Base Campers!

I'm pleased to report that XtremeSystems has been joined by
616westwarmoth
for whom Base Camp at once put a trek badge aside

OldChap's report sounds so reassuring - a #2 would be beyond my xpertly uninformed xpectations
But it never hurts to secure the position, so
- this being Sunday -
after church, please join
XtremeSystems - and we'll have a cup of coffee or better at the pub opposite that church

I like that picture, stefada
Also, I know many who want to keep a phone a phone and not a newspaper, a cruncher, a navigator, an emergency apparatus, a camera, a post office, a TV-set, a flight radar, a grammophone, an excersice registrator, an address book, a movie theatre, a calculator, a bank ....
Geezzz, often I wish I didn't cross that fine line - and it doesn't even have Facebook on it

Good Morning Base Campers!
Business
The day starts on a positive note, because we can say

à Urden - such a pleasant surprise. I thought you had forgotten us.
When the XtremeSystems trek is over, you can add this badge to your collection

How is your new work, Urden?

As of midnight UTC XtremeSystems sat on a fairly comfortable #2 spot.
I have no idea how to calculate our chances, but Forrest Gump and I know that sticking with
many little streams form a large river
is good policy
We shall be happy for any help you can send our way
We may not win, but we may keep our honourable #2 position
