Hi all - not posted for a while, I've been a little busy. See below

On other news:

I'm enjoying my brief stint at number two before BaBa stomps all over me.

Having been folding for a few years now after defecting from seti I don't think I'm going to be able to keep up my level of commitment to the team for several reasons: Promotion at work (they're still not paying me my worth - although in the current climate I shouldn't complain), I bought a house 5 weeks ago and 2 weeks ago I became a dad!! My daughter, Iris, now has most of my spare time

As you all know F@H is a bit of an addiction so I won't be surprised if you see little change in production..............here's to the next 20 million

**Edit** On another note - With the new A5 cores has Linux become the quicker platform?

Congrats on daughter ,promotion ,tiffy and house i think in that order

Linux is indeed quite a bit quicker but as dekez and myself will tell you its not the easy path

Congrats, I'll let one of the Bigadv folders answer your question regarding A5s but I'm pretty sure linux is more efficient.

Congrats on everything!

Like Baba says it is quicker but if you're going to be short of time I wouldn't bother, linux is guaranteed to hog time and raise stress levels!

Unless someone creates a easy peasy vmware image and setup guide of course

Would this work? Or has anyone tried it? as mentioned by Biffa

Ok, maybe it works, should give it a try meself.. but for a dedicated bigadv folder this might work.

Just noticed in the Changelog that its no longer for Wine

So might have some validity. May try it out on a spare drive in Gemini tonight
