For some reason, it worked, here's what I have in getmininginfo on the linux machine

{
    "blocks" : 859892,
    "currentblocksize" : 1000,
    "currentblocktx" : 0,
    "difficulty" : 0.01151753,
    "errors" : "",
    "generate" : true,
    "genproclimit" : 8,
    "hashespersec" : 1093,
    "networkghps" : 0.00033882,
    "pooledtx" : 0,
    "testnet" : false
}

According to the calculations above, I should get a block every 6 hours, at worst. I'll keep you posted.
