Ok so I am here for some help to hopefully get my server set up to act as a folding farm as well. Lets start off by saying that I am a total hack when it comes to Linux so you will have to babystep me through this, to the point of giving me exact code to enter into the command prompt.
So to start off I have a server set up running a barebones server install of Fedora 23 supporting Amahi. I primarily use this as a file server and plex server. I normally run this headless and everyhting is done through the command line. The system hardware is listed below.
CPU - I3-530
MOBO - Intel DP55WG
RAM - 4x2gb of generic 1066 MHz DDR3
GPU - GTX650ti
I will include a picture of the disk setups in case this is necessary. Please bare in mind that I am using Greyhole to manage my disks in case this comes into play.
So I am primarily looking to do GPU folding on this platform as I do not think that running CPU folding on this is worthwhile and I do not want to affect my plex server too much by folding on the CPU. I know the 650ti is not a great card for folding but I hope to get at least one maybe 2 better cards in the future but want to make sure the sytem works successfully before investing in cards. I was hoping to be able to continue to run this system headless and just remote in if I need to make changes. If this is not possible I can live with that but it would be my primary goal. I guess that is about it for the time being. I am sure there will be more information people will need but I do not know what that is so please feel free to fire away with questions and I will try to awnser to the best of my ability.
Thanks in advance
