    amazingly my machines for the most part are still doing Gromacs 24/7 - the 340 thru 370 runs and I never mess with anything to try to connect to specific servers - I fold what's given :cool2:.

    I think that it is the 'anti penguin' bias.
    I have gotten one tink in the last two weeks, all others are gros

    I'm loving all the Gromacs goodness I've been getting.:D Maybe they aren't running as many Gromacs projects for Linux as they are for Windows.

    I started getting Tinkers, but I didn't want those, so I deleted the Tinker core and WU, restarted the client, it attepted to run the tinker WU, found that it could not find the WU and core and went and downloaded a Gromac and have been getting gromacs since then (last week)

    You're not supposed to do that.

    Each time you delete a WU like that, it puts the WU that you deleted in a sort of floating stage in which the WU just hangs around in the F@H logs and won't be finished until your copy of the unit expires, at which time the WU will be resent to someone else. It isn't such a huge deal much now, but it used to possibly hold back certain parts of the projects.

    Hell, I remember when De Novos had just been released, back then they were very rare (Back before -advmethods), and people were deleting their queues and tinker units left and right in the hopes of getting a De Novo, which probably set the tinker projects back quite a bit.

    Anyways, it's generally a good idea to do what you're given, hell tinkers are not as bad as you think they are.
    All the machines in my sig run the google toolbar (tinkers only) which has been modded to fold for team 93, and I'm getting about 850 points per week with these lappys doing tinkers.:D

    Hmmm, ok. I didn't know that. I like the gromacs because of the amount of points they give me. I get alot of those 53 and 54 point gromacs, which is why for 112WU I have 4389 points.

    Right now though, I have a 29.4 point Gromac that is almost 9hrs to complete, or 5m 19s per frame.

    SM17 is getting mostly tinkers as well (on about an 80/20 basis). I definitely think its something to do with the linux client. (SM17 is running deb).
