wow, what a cool project!!
Sorry to barge in like this. I am only on page 7 so far and am sure the answer to my question is in the next 273 pages

Is there a way to run a script or is there a list of things to install on an existing Ubuntu LTS?
My rig is our media center and file share server, but would like to add a dozen cards or so (asus mining expert) to do some mining, as it is idle most of the time.
Thanks

I think its easier to reformat your existing ubuntu and install nvOC then install and set samba, nfs,... and any thing else you need for your media center instead of going through installing and setting up nvOC over an existing ubuntu.
I think his request seems quite interesting to me.
By developing an installable package on a stable "normal" ubuntu (I say normal to mean that this system would only be installed from the ISO provided by cannonical), Fullzero's scripts and all the others could be spread on much more mining rig.
I admit that it is also another work a little wider and tedious, but in fine, the nvOC package could thus be deployed much more widely and probably also on debian or probably other systems.
He would thus make a big competition to ethOS which makes pay his scripts, even if the first goal is not this one, that would perhaps make them review their commercial policy that personally, I find doubtful.
It would probably also bring other linuxians (called "bearded"!) :-) in some circles ha ha! ) to help this very active community of this thread to further optimize scripts and mining software.
Start with a package including software and scripts adapted for an ubuntu and then chained with a debian more classic and less heavy IMO, and observe if this package could interest the other communities of the other banks of Linux like RED HAT, Fedora and / or Mint ... etc.
Would not it be judicious also to reserve this distribution Ubuntu to the beginners with Linux because it is necessary to recognize this to him, ubuntu tries then a few years to convert the workstations windows to Linux.
In my country, it has done rather well to the national gendarmerie! A civil branch of the police.
I think it would be interesting to put these scripts on a system less heavy volume in one way or another.
I hope that what I am trying to express is understandable to some of those who have read this post.
The idea is nice but not quite practical. There are a lot of differences between linux distros and their backbone so such a project would require quite a big team of developers and testers to execute. Just see what happened few weeks back when ubuntu pushed updates... screwed up the operation on single distro, single version.... imagine if we had 6-7 different distros... even the big software companies don't support more than 3-4 main distrubutions of linux.
Different distros handle libraries, drivers, config files differently, not to mention the selection of preinstalled software... it will be impossible to support that from a community driven free project like this
