Glad to hear about Cinnamon and about it being faster than Ubuntu. I'm still researching the installation options, hoping it is as easy to instal on a W7 system as Ubuntu.

I have not run Ubuntu but Linux Mint is a variation of the Ubuntu distro so I suspect the run times will be very close if not identical. Yes, BOINC is available in its software center. I installed it from there with no problems. Cheers Edit: Fixed typos

Windows-vs-Windows talks is the usual stuff, so it's refreshing to see a Linux-vs-Linux discussion for a change. So, is Cinnamon faster than Quantal?

So, is Cinnamon faster than Quantal? Maybe the question should be 'Is every other desktop faster than Unity?' In which case my answer would be YES! Unity ( the desktop used by Quantal) has such a high cpu overhead I dumped it in favour of Linux Mint Mate and RHEL/clones ages ago.    |

If the main object is to crunch "speedier" on Linux [now who would not want that], why is a GUI loaded anyhow? Look up in this thread for commands from terminal such as
sudo service lightdm stop sudo service gdm stop From there on, the efficiency I'm for instance observing on HCC1 is 99.8% [half an hour+ faster than W7-64 on same rig] and that's with the bog-down Ubuntu 12.10 install [plus a little swing to the WIFI with sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off , for maximum ad-hoc throughput at all times... Aside, there's so many GUI fronts that one can load on top of Ubuntu that are slimmer... or fatter such as the not by me appreciated KDE... now that is a cycle hogger and not revisited since 10.10. (P.S. A windows v windows discussion?... someone got lost in the wrong thread... this thread is about Linux and boarding it by [autodidact] noobs such as me. If expanded discussions on a particular subject, pls in a separate focus thread. The chat room has infinite space) |

Quick questions:
----------------------------------------1. Do you have to enter those sudo commands in the same terminal that you open up BOINC? 2. Will those two sudo commands disable the task viewer window for the BOINC client?  |

You can launch those sudo commands [to unload the GUI completely] from any terminal opened with ctrl-alt-F1/F6, without affecting any other daemon/service process of BOINC, except *not* when you're GPU crunching. The graphical task viewer is no longer accessible [since the GUI, Unity/Gnome/KDE whatever was stopped], but further up in this thread I did post a BOINC pure-text Task Manager substitute, also introduced here: http://code.google.com/p/boinctui/ Works well for me.
You need to know which GUI engine was loaded. lightdm is the one that Ubuntu uses default since about 11.04 [Unity]. Before that it was gdm [Gnome]. Can't remember which one it was for KDE, but probably it was kdm, like there is xdm [xubuntu] For those running the latest greatest [I'm trialling the nighties of 13.04, Raring Ringtail with the 3.8 kernel], the next kernel 3.9 will integrate much improved audio [which as I've so far experienced on my HDA capable laptop as poor, no where near as good as under W7 or 8]. Read http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTMwODM . Guess the benefits will come to us in Ubuntu 13.10 [SS] |
