Well done Colin on being the first to get credit. :)
I've got some pending credit for my first WU and another one nearly done but I'm finding it hard to get new work.

I got pending credit too and it takes a little time to come through mainly as there isn't a lot of people registered yet or is it that there ain't to many out there using 64bit linux??

Reeltime I know how you feel my linux knowledge is minimal if anything and i have been thinking recently of going back to windoze as it has a nicer front end but the thing that is keeping me with linux is the speed of the OS its years ahead of windoze.

Doesn't look like there are any work units left. My PC did 12 during the night, got 35 credits each for the first two and the other 10 units are pending. This morning I didn’t have any new work for it, only had WCG work.

Not a big fan of Linux myself but had to convert for my CCIE studying. I run the Cisco Router Emulator Dynamips and run it just runs cr4p on windows. I made the jump to 64 Bit Fedora in November and try to restrict my Windows usage. It was quite a painful and frustrating move but in the end it will be worth it. XP will not be around much longer and I refuse to run that pile of dung Vista.

I tried several Linux Distros but Fedora was the only one that I could get my wireless and graphics card working under.

I can do almost everything I regularly do on Linux now. Internet, email, Dynagen, Boinc, Torrents, CD/DVD burning, streaming media now works. I only get the odd issue with some java applets, my Sony MP3 software is windows only and obviously Direct X gaming.

I would definitely recommend everyone gives it a good go. If using Fedora I can maybe help with all the problems I had.

Just wish I had a few more Quads so I could contribute more, quite enjoy this BOINC stuff so doing all I can in the meantime with my single PC.

Good luck.

Despite the lack of work we aren't doing too badly. We are 10th of 88 teams and I finally got a whole 35 credits. I've got 2 other WUs to play with too!

Most teams haven't got off the blocks yet so well done us!

It's been days since I got any work for 3x+1 & the stats haven't been updated in over 3 days. Anyone know what's up? There is nothing in their message boards. :?
