Hi all,
which 64 bit Linux distribution you suggest to me?

Depends on your Linux experience and what you want to do with it... if you want something easy to use I suggest Ubuntu(8.10 or 8.04), SUSE (11.1) or Redhat Fedora 11. Something a little more hardcore Gentoo is the way to go.

If you give some points of what you expect to do with it could make a better suggestion.

Hi,
I would like to set up a minimal Linux 64 bit system just to run Boinc applications.
I'm running windows 7 64 bit but it seems to be slower compared to windows XP 64 bit and Linux.
And more I have a lot of troubles to let windows 7 to run 4 NVIDIA cards properly together!
I see now Ubuntu offers a very short 64 bit server option (8.04.3),maybe it could be the best choice?

The server versions of distros normally don't get the x-server installed. You need to know your way around the terminal fairly well to get applications running. You might want to try the light weight desktop versions of Ubuntu know as Xubuntu and CrunchBag .There other minimal Linux desktops around but these two I know.

Thank you very much JG,I will probably choose CrunchBang as it's name seems very appropriate to run those tasks!! :)

Just one more question:
How many tasks might a GTx295 card runs,one or two?
My cards run 1 task each even if all two outs are loaded and I extended the desktop to both mon on the NVIDIA panel.
This because I see a top computer handling 8 NVIDIA GTX295?
