Given you only have one option to pick a single Mining distro or operating system for your rig of 5 gpus, which would you choose?

  Figured I would ask because I've now spent the last three days trying a lot of things out with my journey into the Scrypt mining frontier. I've been having the best luck with the Linux based Bamt and Smos options, but I think that the others have potential flexibility that my distros may be lacking. Looking to get feeback as to what alt-coin miners are doing with their setups. (really looking into cgwatcher and cgremote soon too, if I can combine views of both my sha256 and scrypt setups together in the single interface)

  I use VMware on my Mac with a basic Windows Vista image I clone for each altcoin wallet.

  I've been trying to figure out how to edit the poll.  Can I edit a poll once submitted?  I had that same thought immediately after I submitted the question. :)

  Yeah I tried to as well, it does not seem like you can modify polls once posted.

  To clarify:  I meant an os on a mining rig for headless operation.  Not necessarily which OS is preferred for your wallet software.  I would agree though that a VM instance is best.

  Unfortunately as my linux operating skills are pretty weak, I have to say standard Windows.
