Ok, up front, I use Linux for folding borgs, but beyond installing Linux, I am lost as heck. I have had a hard time in the past getting the folding program running on a Linux computer. I have tried stuff with chmod, all kinds of guides. I can't make it work!
But I found a way to make it work in Fedora core 5 and Ubuntu 5.1. I download the client, make a folder in home, put it there, give it all the permissions possible, and then click on the .exe file. And it works. I have 2 Linux computers folding as I type this. The only thing I type is the folder name in my home folder, and my name and team number.
Can any of you Linux experts tell me why I can just use a mouse to install a program? Or is Linux taking the next step...
Just curious. And thanks for your time.
