A rave [review] of Ubuntu on W10... would this host a second copy of Boinc and run the Vina job faster without resorting to full VM...

Well known, but not to me, there's the new first stable Apricity OS 'Aspen' 7-2016 release which according the rave in the attached video is very easy to use for first time Linux users, plus it's cloud ready: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JDHIwITrV4
At Softpedia the 'Gorgeous' word is used: http://news.softpedia.com/news/gorgeous-apric...n-arch-linux-507077.shtml Maybe going to give it a spin and get a 'first' exposure to Arch Linux too (Not the easiest so it always has come across to me) |

Updated the kernel to 4.7.4, see an easy "how" at http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2016/09/how-to-up...-kernel-474-on-linux.html , and still getting 99.9 percent efficiency with OET and Zika. The 3 commands in that article I've added in CLI Companion, so no more copy/paste, just pick from the list while starting to type and adjust the release numbers.
----------------------------------------For those who have byobu, an advanced command interface extension with a status bar at bottom with optional info items such as CPU speed, memory load, OS version, uptime and more, run sudo purge-old-kernels and this will do what it says and only leave the previous last kernel version, and latest off course.  Crunch On Edit: Added screenshot of CLI Companion, with byobu info at bottom, always launches in a terminal window, and available list of commands that have 'kernel' in them.  P.S., there's still BOINCTUI (BOINC Text User Interface), which also runs in terminal, and connects to remote hosts as well, for the headless operators.

Skipped the first build 4.8.0 as waiting on 4.8.1, stable, and here it is, conveniently packaged to wedge into my 16.04 LTS http://www.ubuntumaniac.com/2016/10/update-to-kernel-481-stable-on-ubuntu.html
Actually 4.7.4 was the sound experience, but there's interesting stuff in 4.8 (which is already in the 16.10 Ubuntu Beta build. |

http://www.linuxinsider.com/story/83288.html was the first I had heard of Apricity. I have also been planning a test but till now other things more important.

URL below an example of temps monitored by lm-sensors and graphed using mrtg.
----------------------------------------Not an Ubuntu system - but a Redhat derivative (ClearOS) but still Linux. Southern Hemisphere, so June/July coldest months... http://danda.poweredbyclear.com/frame-29-cputemp.html

You might also try Psensor. You can install it from the Ubuntu software installer. Has a nice GUI and shows most of the information that is available from lm-sensor.

If you're using the XFCE desktop, you might want to try the Sensors Plugin.
----------------------------------------It will then show up integrated in your desktop panel. Here's an example without much eye candy, placed next to the Datetime plugin and the System Load Monitor plugin, only showing the text "Core 0 ... 3" and their temperatures:  http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-sensors-plugin It is highly configurable, here's a Debian screenshot: https://screenshots.debian.net/package/xfce4-sensors-plugin [Edit 2 times, last edit by adriverhoef at Oct 29, 2016 5:58:55 PM] |
