I am working with a Dell Inspiron 17, AMD 64, Linux Mint latest release
I just install FAH, it is running, and I see the little balls moving, It looks quite fine!

Now some questions.

1. If FAH is running day and night, can there be some damage on my computer?
2. How to do shutdown, must I kill or end FAH, or is there a possibility "please shut down after ending this run"?
3. I suppose when I start my computer that installed FAH is not started automatically?
4. Can I plan FAH for special times, e.G. by night?
5. Can I start FAH for only one run?

Some questions - I thing there will be some more, but these are the most important ones

1. As long as you keep your fans and heatsinks clean, a computer is designed to be used.
2. FAH is writing regular checkpoints, you can shutdown your computer as usual. If you want to be safe, you can stop the client before shutting down the system with the command : sudo service FAHClient stop
3. FAH should be installed as a service and start automatically with your system.
4. It's not native in FAHClient, but each OS has methods to schedule tasks.
5. Yes, in FAHControl, right click a slot and select Finish : it will complete the WU, send the results and wait for you next move.

thanks! I will go on

It seems so that starting my Linux Mint, FAH will start automatically. And it just gets on with a running project
