It would be even easier if there was a decent LINUX-based miner.
AFAIK the only one available is that JAVA-based "GPU assisted" thing, which I can't use as all the GPUs in my LINUX rigs are dedicated to running OTHER mining stuff, while the CPUs generally sit pretty much idle.
Oh, there are several;
dcct
mjminer
avx2miner
the java-based miner will mine w/o GPU if you don't configure the opencl "targets"
Just take a look into the forums.
I seem to have either missed those, or they are gpu-centric.
I think I tried the java "gpu assisted" miner once without a GPU configured - I can't remember if it flat out didn't work, or if it was so painfully slow it took 10+ minutes to go through a 400 meg plot directory.
Made a note of the rest to look for - dcct is sounding familier the rest I've never seen.
