Hello Guys, I am new to the F@H community.

Is there a place where I can change my default F@H password (which I left blank by accident) and view credits and all that stuff

Edit: Using ubuntu F@H console client 6.29

Hmm...is there a GPU client for linux?

No, however, there are lot of people that make the Windows GPU client work in Linux using Wine. If you are interested you can look at the Wine threads here for help.

Thanks, but is there a Performance hit?

I've not personally done it but from what I've read, not much of one, if any.

When you say "hit" you must be comparing something to something else. What would that be? If you're running Linux you either run it under Wine or you don't run it.

There's a lot of discussion about the performance hit of ATI compared to a similarly priced NV gpu, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. In fact, that's an issue for those two companies to work out between themselves.

Cody,

I believe he was thinking of a performance hit from running the windows GPU client using Wine + Linux as opposed to the Windows client running under Windows. If you look up a few posts, he asked if there was a Linux GPU client ...

I guess that makes sense. I normally assume that the choice of OS is based on the primary purpose for the computer (other applications) and FAH is added on to make use of the wasted processing resources. With so many people building computers just for FAH, by assumption can obviously be wrong.
