1) Message boards : Cafe : OS Selection thread (Message 130) Posted 15 Apr 2015 by cykodennis Post: I prefer RHEL derivatives for private and professional use, because it is important for me to have as much practise as i can get. Because i have decided to migrate the network i have to administrate away from Winodws within the next ~5-8 years, i have chosen one family of Linuxes and work with it whereever and whenever I am able to. I decided to use RHEL derivatives because of the exzellent public documentations and the good support for the KVM virtualization infrastructure. I need reliability and predictability (something that I even began to miss on Microsoft, because of such examples like the changed lifecycle for Windows 8), so i try to follow the Linux related decisions of the CERN in general. I also use Windows boxes for gaming (and for my wife of course), prefering Windows 8.1 (with ClassicShell). In my opinion, the BOINC performance of particular operating systems relies heavily on the specific applications. But i guess, the future of BOINC is using virtual machines anyhow, although i think that the actual way of using VirtualBox is wrong. It would be nice if projects would start to provide complete slim virtual machines for download, ready for use in KVM, VirtualBox, VM Ware and so on, completely with preconfigured OS, Libraries of the project developers choice. I expect this would make providing different applications obsolete, and would make it possible to run the projects in the most efficient way. Best, Dennis P.S.: There are many Dennisses around on DENIS@home! :D

Its GLIBC Version is 2.17. If someone wants to give it a try, there are nice CentOS 7 Boinc Install Guides by EXT64 on the message boards of [H]ard\|OCP.
