Hi all,
While in the past I had indicated that running the windows CLI client on a linux box using wine, I have
since reverted all my linux boxen back to linux native clients. My main reason is that I have 7 linux
processors (a couple of duallies), and those wine/windows clients would just stop for no known reason.
I don't actively monitor these boxen, and so it could be a couple of days before I realized they were
down. So, I am taking the performance hit by going back to native clients, since those clients were stable,
and I think overall I will improve my stats, just by keeping the boxes crunching, instead of having
them sitting idle.
Just my own experience and $0.02
(If anyone has any insights as to why the wine client would suddenly "die", I would like to hear
them. It's on both AMD and Intel CPUs).
