The major thing is to just get the latest version out there so I can overclock my cards beyond the limits that the Catalyst 11.5 drivers allow!

I had to install the package firmware-atheros to get networking working on my WiFi card, but that's not a big deal, and I wonder how many other people are going to be mining on WiFi cards with this similar chipset. As long as I'm using persistence I'm not worried about something I only have to do once.

Anything else you want sorting post now and I'll include it within reason.
Could we get a non-transparent term default somewhere? grey-on-white is hard on the eyes. Also, firmware-iwlwifi will cover a number of intel wireless chipsets so that would be a nice package to add in.
EDIT: Strike the last request after noticing that lost me 3MHash/s due I assume to all the real work of feeding the load to the GPU, sigh.

But... we like the background w/ the Benjies, it's inspiring :-) Jokes aside, happy to hear you're fine and thanks for all your hard work!!

Hey guys !! Back now lol I managed to keep my flat by the skin of my teeth 
last nite had to party a bit I'm working on things today so I'll fix up the iso and reupload.
For those that don't want a background. It's pretty easy to change same as windows just right click an empty space in the desktop and choose desktop preferences. My friend is making me a abstract background image so it won't be so busy and in your face.

And yes smartcoin will be included
Ps: I will work through my pm's tonight. I'm out and in my phone ATM and I hate this bloody phone for typing

Here's what I currently have going:
Everything updates live (once per second) thanks to the power of javascript!
At the minute, only requires you to install php5 on top of LinuxCoin, and use a custom version of phoenix. I would like to add some database logging with either sqlite or mysql for history stats...
Still WIP!
Oh, and I borrowed the style from http://bitval.dorphern.dk/ !
I will make my own when the time comes

OMG, i've been waiting to be able to post as a non-newbie!!
@nzbtc, You should get with smartcoin dev jondecker76 and leverage his db schema to put a web frontend over it! That would be uber hotness.

I'm with Dishwara on the screen-issues:
Black background, no screen saver. Getting back the ability to adjust screen resolution from the start menu (as in v0.2a) would be great.
KISS I'd say.

Thanks guys for the donations even though I messed up a bit !! Don't worry when the ISO is rereleased all issues will be addressed. Not much work really I should have something by tonight.
!! Don't worry when the ISO is rereleased all issues will be addressed. Not much work really I should have something by tonight.Instead of pictures as back ground, i understand, you want to show a difference instead of plain solid color, still just use black as default back ground & let users select what back ground they want. Also disable screen savers.
Having a picture as background will take some memory & screen saver take GPU cycle or CPU.

If you deleted a data partition on your HDD and then re-formatted it with a different filesystem type you're pretty thoroughly @$^#ed.
Newbie mistake.I guess I have to reinstall windows again.

Folax, that change has already been incorporated into the latest versions of all the big miners. Grabbing the latest version of the miners is a one minute kind of affair, and I had to do it with Linuxcoin 0.2A anyway because, for whatever reason, the included version of Phoenix wasn't working, but a fresh copy from Subversion was. I guess the only way this is really going to mess you up is if you aren't using Persistence, in which case you'd have to update the miners each time you rebooted the computer.

Did you guys try this:
I edited my file and it seems to really increase the hashrate, maybe something to look into Gr33n?
I just tried this and got >3% improvement in mining speed.
You can go to phatk's kernel.cl file (don't worry, it just sits there in the open, no need to recompile anything), find this line
#define Ma(x, y, z) amd_bytealign((y), (x | z), (z & x))
and change it to this line
#define Ma(x, y, z) amd_bytealign( (z^x), (y), (x) )
Once you've done it, restart the miner.

I'm eagerly looking forward to the new release tonight with the Catalyst 11.6 driver and will begin using it immediately. Thanks!

What size PSU do you have for that three card setup? I can't mine up and think the PSU might not be enough.
I'm running 3x Sapphire Extreme 5850's on a 750Watt PSU. Overclocked to 885 Core, 300 Mem, Running fine as far as I can tell

Gr33n, I have just sent you a small donation, hope you can soon pay your rent from donations
I wonder where the 'Display settings' icon that was so nicely put away in the start menu in v0.2a has gone in v0.2b, I have no clue where to adjust the screen resolution now, and I like to do this.
Please take your time for this court thing you have, bitcoin mining OS'es should not be a priority in life

Hey Guys, Quick question.
Is it possible to make a 32bit version? I have an idea on how to do it myself but learning is a time consuming thing that I haven't had time to do lately due to time constraints over the next month. Here's my problem, I need to move my mining boxes to the back of the house away from the network switches to put them in a cooler spot. But I can't run network wires due to where they will be located, I attempted to buy the cheapest wireless usb adapters I can buy (mistake!) ... turns out they need 32bit linux in order to work. Will it be worth it to make a 32bit version or pay a little bit more money for a wireless adapter that works out of the box? If so, Can anyone spare a link to a usb (preferred) adapter that's under $30/each that will work with 64bit linuxcoin with minimal changes (adding packages w/ persistence without having to compile drivers manually that work)?
Thanks!
P.S. Feature request ... Wireless support out of the box would be nice.

almost forgot, anyone here implement anything like:
1. publishing the temps and mhash/s etc to a website for remote summary?
2. a script that will kill the miner(s) if the temps get too high?

I've started to play with (1)!
I have currently got my hashrate, accepted, invalid and card temps to be displayed on the linux box via apache.. After I make it a little more usable for others, I'll release this for you.
That's awesome. I wish I had more unix scripting skills.
