I added a page for changing the time zone in the wiki.

Awesome! Thanks so much, I had spent so long trying to figure it out using instructions for an old version of DBE and it didn't do a thing, that worked instantly! I have been working on the wiki, I did the long entry about OC'ing. I think I am gong to write another one just called Linux Short cuts, all the useful shortcuts I have learned. I am really new to Linux, I know Windows and command line interfaces pretty well, but I am still learning may way through Linux.

Only thing Linux coin is really missing for me is a CPU underclocking utility. Does anyone know of a piece of software I can get on this that will allow me to change the p-state frequencies and voltages of my AM3 CPU. On windows there is PhenomMSRtweaker which works great(allows me to force the processor into lowest p state which is set at 1350Mhz @ .895V)

LinuxCoin does this automatically using frequency scaling. You can set it to powersave etc but there's no need really because it sets itself accordingly.

I added a page for changing the time zone in the wiki.

How does one add a page? I just signed up and wanted to post how to change the boot options menu.

I can see pages but have no option to add.

You have to type in the url of the page you want to add. For example if I wanted to create a page titled setup_linuxcoin I would type in my address bar.

http://www.linuxcoin.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Setup_linuxcoin

And click create.

More news on LinuxCoin 0.2-final I'm just finishing the optimizations to the kernel and I think we are golden. I'll contact the people that asked so they can test then I'll unleash onto the public.

LinuxCoin's kernel is also now optimized for CPU mining too !! Also included hashkill, cgminer with GPU support, sticky notes, secure bitcoin wallet, monit watchdog, updated PXE scripts, optimized pyopencl and lots more. I can't remember the total amount of changes !!
