Hoping to get machine three onto folding at weekend or before but as per post which is quicker at processing data for folding. Being new to Linux I am a bit unsure as to how to setup Thomson speedtouch modem USB on Linux or firewall, AV etc. I have read something somewhen about having to compile at root on a command line but that may be from work using DEC VMS years ago. Any help appreciated but it may be simpler to use ME (though it will need a lot of updating if available as the install is a system disk flatten from a 1999 disk) as at least I understand it reasonably well, used it since 1999 and I am familiar with windows firewalls etc.

It's no harder/easier than under Windows, but Linux will run 24/7 stable, console client only tho. As regards your broadband modem, have'nt got a clue if it's USB, if it's Ethernet then it's dead easy.

right !, thanks Dr-Jon I thought Linux should be more efficient at pure number crunching but how do you add the green frog modem drivers to a preexisting Linux setup i.e. Knoppix

i think most new linux distros will have the drivers for the green frog preinstalled, should be just a case of makeing sure its pluged in to the usb when you install Dr-Jon
