[...]I've trialled the latest (AFAIK) phoenix - 1.62 - and it works but doesn't offer any performance improvements to me, nor does it change the crazy monster-stdout verbosity (I redirect phoenix output to a file and then use that to extract performance statistics, after a week it's over a gigabyte per instance), so I haven't bothered updating globally.

I use screen to keep a tab on my miners, so no need to save them to files.

It won't be for everyone, but after installing my miners on full Ubuntu Desktop installs with all the patches, I was wondering why the hell I needed compiz, apparmor, and a load of fancy GUI eye candy (that *does* affect the 'first' processing GPU). I'm henceforth working on trying to get a happy, compatible miner build that starts with the Ubuntu Minimal installation. I've got a couple of GH/s lying idle whilst I faff about - hashing power that should be working for the pool - so I'm on the case...

Why not use linuxcoin? It's based on a minimal Debian system, and it is really minimal. I do understand that you already made a lot of scripts that work and you just want to share them. I do feel the same way, now that I have things running quite stable. However, like Inaba, I don't have automated startups and I like to watch my rigs manually. Not sure if many people would like that. Too much automation and things go out of hand. Although, it *is* on my to-do list.

Where is Inaba's guide by the way?
