So far I have heard that D2OL runs faster on Win2k than Win2003, I haven't seen any XP or Linus comparisons. Will anyone be able to provide such results? I would not hesitate to change OS, even for a weird one I have never heard of, on my farm pc.
I do need XP though, to play BF2 on the other computer I have.
p.s. actually I don't need XP to run BF2, but I need at least one computer with XP on.

I have 2 D2OL rigs running Gentoo Linux. I haven't done apples to apples comparison (installing various OS on the same system) since the DF (Distributed Folding) project, but for DF the Linux was a bit faster than Win2K. Seat of my pants feel with D2OL is that it's about the same AKA not worth the down-time reinstalling a new OS.
This was on single-core non-HT machines. For dual-core, I expect Win2k3server and properly compiled Linux kernel to be about the same in D2OL while the Linux would edge out Win2kpro.

well, d2ol runs faster in 2kpro than in 2003server.
But for dual cores a server product would be better because consumer operating systems are geared for 1 cpus and the dual cpu or dual core support tacked on later. Server operating systems are geared for that from the ground up.
Only thing about a server product is it's ANNOYING! All the nag screens and shutdown windows... the need to run corporate AV... BLAH
lol, that was a LONG time agoI think perkam knows D2OL/linux if I'm not mistaken...But I have the links here:

As for me, its windows for the momentBut the os assimilation will continue when I have the time...

OMG it's a borg penguin!!!!
Just did Dbech on Vista build 5219, about 1-2 sec slower than on XP.

I dont think Linux would like only 128mb ram while running D2OL. I was thinking of installing Linux on my dedicated cruncher.
I think it'd work as long as you killed cron so Linux didn't try to do it's daily HD re-indexing. I have to do this on one machine (don't want to waste $ on RD-RAM), but I forget offhand if it has 2x64 or 2x128 sticks.
Edit: Yup, 128mb total on the one rig.

What install was that?? And also, do u think it would be worth it to run it under linux instead of Windows 2k??
As mentioned above...

Oohh, sorry paladin. Maybe I'll install it anyways just to figure out how to load linux. U think 6 gig is enough?
Yes, 6 gigs is plenty. UnG is stuffing Linux+D2OL onto 256mb USB drives! Personally, I have one on a 2gb and one on a 4gb. The 2gb is uncomfortably tight; I'm looking forward to UnG posting the image for his setup.

Just tried Dbench on Win2003 standard edition. What a piece of $#%@ this is! Not only my time is 3 sec slower than on XP, this OS wont let me shutdown my computer, when I click shutdown, the OK button is not active, so I had to hit reset on my motherboard. Then after I booted again, it asked me why the hell I didn't turn it off properly, and I had to type it before I can log in again.
Paladin, I think I might have a couple spare sticks of RD at home I can check to see their size if you are interested.

Sure, if they are just gathering dust. I originally got the CPU+RAM for free directly from Intel at one of their yearly recertification/propaganda courses.
