Which distro has the lowest overhead?
Want to know so that i can get the best folding performance. its going to be run in a vm, through VMware workstation. and before you say anything im not going to bother with gentoo i guess since its going to be low overhead xfce or flux desktop would be preferred? oh and it has to be 64bit since SMP only works on 64 bit linux os's

Re: Which distro has the lowest overhead?
I'm planning on a creating a VM that is console only, no WM, that would be your best bet. I wouldn't recommend notfred's VM, its buggy as hell. Take a Ubuntu Server OS and just don't install a WM. If you need any help let me know. I'd write it today, but I Red Sox Playoff game and a hot date, so yeah, I won't be sitting in front of the Laptop. Feel free to PM me and I'll get to it tomorrow.

Should have sat in front of the laptop. Hope the date at least went well for you, as the Sox game most certainly did not.dicecca112 wrote:I'm planning on a creating a VM that is console only, no WM, that would be your best bet.

Re: Which distro has the lowest overhead?
It's pretty simple to use, though IDK how well it supports folding...not sure if it has a 64 bit version.
