The best way is to download VMWare Server & Kubuntu x86-64.
Start the VM Manager, install Kubuntu (the ISO mounted as the CD), install for 2 processors. ap-get the 32 bit libraries (if you are really going to do this I'll provide what support I can - don't want a fellow freeper to have the headaches I had).
download the Linux 64 bit SMP version of FAH (do the console version).
You have a working Windows machine and a folding monster that will probably net you about 650 ppd just from the VM. Add another 100+ ppd from the two Windows sessions that will also run (the VM will rarely take more than about 90% of processor).
I will install the VMware server and then this as you suggested.
Any pre-install tips or things to watch for will be appreciated. Lief
