Which OS for your DCing systems?

Using XP (I have VLK so I guess it's free 😉) for my dedicated crunchers.

For my servers that also crunch, they are all running Fedora Core 2, 3, 4, or Red Hat Enterprise 3.

I'm crunching S@H BOINC.
 
I use winXP.

But I think that for Folding@Home, Linux can more easily get some bonus WUs, something to do CPU type reporting to the server.
 
Windows, only really because I already have liscenses for each of my PC's. I only 1 mandrake10 box, but its a 450PII that overheats and locks up when running 100% for extended periods of time.
 
Win XP SP2 (9 comps), Mac OS X (2 comps), Linux - Suse 9.0 (2 comps), Win 98 SE (1 laptop) - all running well. 😀
(for most DC; I am running BOINC and seti@home classic)
 
Not unless you're running a 64 bit DC client. I put XP 64 on my Dad's new Athlon 64 and had to take it off in favor of Windows 2000 because I couldn't find a 64 bit printer driver.

Click to expand...

Any point in using a 64bit client? 😛
 
Usually Win2K. I've cruched with most everything and currently have 4 Win2K and one 98. Seems like Linux clients are usually a little slower to me too, but that could just be my experience/observation.
