Excellent work sir! I'll be putting it through its paces as soon as I get home from work!

Request to everyone else: Please if you know how to use one of the new features (or any of them that are not in the WiKi add them!!

This will save drgr33n from having to spend time doing it, when we can, and its the least we can do for him, and it will also prevent a lot of questions.

hehehe thanks Wink

As soon as this version is tested and the final version is out I will make an effort to write as much documentation as possible Wink

Full list of added stuff will come with the final version, there is a small one on the original post. I'll post it here ...

grsecurity / PaX hardened kernel
ck patch for the fastest CPU mining
secured bitcoin wallet option to encrypt and use your wallet.
GUIminer
Smartcoin munin plugins
Chromium replaced for iceweasel
tor / privoxy
lots more drivers / hardware support.
More miners including hashkill and cgminer.
Updated and optimized pyopencl
monit software watchdog
Updated PXE scripts (now they really do work lol)
Bug fixes etc
and lots more !!

Yes smartcoin is included and has been tested. Also you can now view the stats of smartcoin via the munin web interface. When you've booted you need to symlink the plugin and wait around 10 mins for munin to update.

Code:

ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/smartcoin /etc/munin/plugins/
/etc/init.d/munin-node restart

then you can view this information on the local machine by viewing

http://127.0.0.1/munin or from another device by viewing http:///munin

Chill

most of the changes are trivial Cheesy

the kernel will be released as a beta and there will be a standard kernel option. After this release I promise not to change much else Wink

I just thought grsecurity was a no brainer Cheesy

Looks like my Bitcoin client is corrupt. I get a some sort of "Error: Debian Exception..." shortly after it opens then it automatically closes the client :-/

Running 0.2.1b persistent. How do I repair and/or extract my bitcoins from it?

please say "and i *did* back it up"

copy the wallet.dat file somewhere safe, delete directory and reinstall new bitcoin client. copy wallet.dat file over to new directory. had to do this a few times my self.

Copied the Wallet.dat file to a safe place and deleted directory. What's the best way for thix linux noob to install a new Bitcoin client?

I would like to be part of the beta test, too. Why not make it "open beta"? Cheesy

New distro? Huh

Please?

lol keep ya pants on do you realize how much work it is to rip out the stock kernel and basically change the way it works ? It's not easy stuff and I've only just been exposed to grsecurity so working through the small things that have come up after the upgrade.

It's getting there I'm not going to put a deadline to this anymore as I can't keep up with the ones I set myself hehehe so trust me it's on its way and it will be worth the wait Wink

The only problem I see with this is that going from beta to release means you fix the bugs and release. If you are adding new stuff it will still be beta. IMO you should have squashed bugs in the beta and released then any new features should have been re-released as a beta.

The way you are doing it, we will always have beta and no release versions.

Don't get me wrong, I like that you are adding to and refining it.

Great news !! the grsecurity patch was a success after a bit of patching here and there Wink

So we are rocking Debian hardened linux-2.6.29 with grsecurity, PaX, ck optimizations & my own little pepper Cheesy

!! Also included is tor / privoxy / firestarter !!

I need people to test this out ? I'm looking for five people with 0 to lots of experience that can trial for a few days and report back to me with your likes / dislikes and suggestions. Also looking for bugs. If you would like to trial linuxcoin please send me a PM sharpish and I'll be giving out the copy of the ISO tomorrow.

PS we just hit 1000 replies Cheesy

Just built & tested a rig for a friend. here's the figures Cheesy

I'd say were pretty good. ? I know its a bit overkill on the hardware bit he's planning to use it as a gaming machine if he ever gets bored of mining Cheesy
