I keep having problems communicating with bitcoin RPC via poclbm (not sure how to use pheonix) can someone give me a hand on this? Also, what does the flag -f# does? Higher number gives higher priority? or what?

I agree that this guide has gotta be re-written. Theres too much errors on it, especially on the x86 parts.

So you are the second person to say the guide needs to be rewritten because there are "errors" but as of yet, no one has pointed out a single error.

Also, why are you using the 32 bit version of Ubuntu? I'm not saying there aren't valid reasons to be using it, but I'm just curious if you have a 64 bit CPU, there is absolutely no reason to use the 32 bit version for mining.

Ok I'm sorry if you feel offended, there are a lot of people including myself that have never ever used linux before. And because of that I'm saying that this guide could make do with a little consideration towards these people. It's not like oh theres a simple error here I know what to do. No I don't and I know there are people who doesn't because they PM me. I linked this guide in the Beginner's Guide and I feel that there is plausible cause for a simple revamp.

As mention, I can't point it out because I don't even know what the command are suppose to do. When I entered them, I don't even know if the output actually worked right. Although after a few days of searching the web and stuff, I got poclbm to work on Ubuntu so I can tell that there are some errors, especially on the x86 parts.

Ok I'll attempt to try and point out some of them that I think contains an error that you hasn't change yet...
(Some things u might consider: I know I'm suppose to go System and switch on some 'Universe' thing so that one of the command would go through, it's not mentioned. ~~You made x86 & x64 download both version of stream sdk~~ (Changed), during my x86 install, it got confusing as to which I'm suppose to install [or something] and then later on some of the stuff that requires it I couldn't get the path right since I have both and not know which to use)

4. needs the 'universe' setting change thing I think...
11. & 13. are the similar. I'm not sure if it's a required step. Although in 13, 32-bit and 64-bit is doing the same thing.
16. is really confusing is it right? I'm not sure. And I don't know where everything goes so yea... -.-|||

I don't have all x64 machines. In fact my own PC I've been using for years is a x86, I also got a few 32-bit machines that are sitting in my uncle's store that is doing simple office stuff with PCIe slots I could use. I don't really have a need to until I came across Bitcoin where I'm investing. So I turned it into a mining rig since I'll be getting another MOBO w/ x64 processor I figured I'd use that as my desktop instead. So yes you're right, there are reasons to use it.
