Linux is far better OS than Windows

Rofl no, Linux is junk compared to Windows. No one is using it because it's inferior and too complex. Just because it has less viruses doesn't mean it has better security. In fact very few hackers target Linux users because they are so few. And those who use Linux are very technical and it's harder to hack them.

I'm a proud user of Linux. I NEVER used windows to mine. NEVER.

Remote management of a windows minig rig is a pain in the @ss! You need a graphical tool like VNC or RDP plus some service like TeamViewer and A LOT of internet bandwidth to properly show your "beautiful" desktop at client side... You need to pay for Windows too.

Linux is free and the remote management task is FAR way simple, cheaper and less resource hungry. You only need: ssh server (comes with Linux you only need to enable and/or configure) + ssh client (if you are not using a Linux machine as a client) + cheap internet speed.

You don't need a powerful CPU neither a big disk.

My mining rig uses the cheapest 7th Gen Intel Celeron + 8 GB RAM + 64 GB M.2 Sata.

I'm sure I can run it with only 4 GB RAM and 32 GB M.2 Sata...

[]'s!

Lol, my rigs use a Sempron 145 single core, 4 GPU's and 4Gb ram and the cheapest mobo I can find. Grin

also, basic install of W7 home premium and ya don't even need to update it lol

And ya Team Viewer for remote access. I am 820 miles away from my rigs right now but they are ready to start the BTCZ batch file and bingo! we're mining. Wink

Linux is good too if you use it regularly and have "grown up" with it. But Windows is so dang simple.......
