Hello,

Despite stability are there other advantages to mining on linux? Reduced power consumption? Better hash?

Thanks!

Linux is designed to be a stable server. remote secure login (ssh) is easy, when using a stable distro the server never goes down. compiling the newest miner, bitcoind, pool software is much easier on linux than trying to set up mingw on windows.

Even if you had to pay for linux, it would probably be preferred for setting up a serious mining operation

gotcha i currently use some python scripts and teamviewer on windows but was considering a linux miner! thanks!
