YOU are the man Martico! I have all my cpu's mining xmr. They are just sitting there anyway. I also am hopeful for steam farming using my HDD's. Ive been looking around for something to mine to make use of those. They also are just sitting. I use ubuntu because I am familiar with it from the early days of bitcoin mining... The new coins however seem to only have windows miners. Which is a smart move from the developers. The main stream is more comfortable with windows. If you get time try to post some of your alt coin mining scripts!
