I have now had reports that people have had FPGA miners run for 4 days + without the need for interaction

7 days here, without any problems.
Now testing new version of MinePeon, everything looks good, setup is really noobproof.

Glad to hear it!

The new setup should allow people with zero computer skills get it up and going quickly (it is hard to go wrong with 3 input boxes and a submit button). There are still a few problems though;-

* How does the new user discover the DHCP IP that the Peon has picked up?
-- At the moment they still have to log in via the console (root/peon) and type ifconfig,
I would prefer if they never had to use the console for anything if they did not want to.
They could get the IP from their router (or whatever it is providing the DHCP). I am looking
at samba or upnp so it just appears in the network list of windows computers.

* Because this is a "ready to rock" miner it has to start everything every time without fail, that means that until you fill in those three inputs fields and hit submit it will be using my test account details (you only need to do it once though and it will keep the settings forever no matter how many times you reboot).
-- I don't really view this as a huge problem, I just want people to be aware of this
is the behaviour and you might inadvertently mine 0.00038889 BTC for me (thanks for
the donation).

Next update will include a few things that I am working on, the two most important things for most users being;-

* Graphs in the Web UI, everyone loves a pretty picture.

* Live Update via the Web UI.
