I am running SuSE Leap 42.1 on a 64-bit host and CPDN survived both a blackout and a kernel update which forced a shutdown.

I have 6 Virtual Machines on my Windows 10 PC. One of them is a SuSE Leap 42.1, the latest SuSE release, which I use as a tester of Leap. On this I have loaded a second tier Virtual Box and run vLHC@home of CERN, with good results.

Use Virtual Box and install a Windows Virtual Machine. I have a Windows 10 PC with 6 Linux Virtual Machines on it to run CERN projects.

Other providers in Italy are Fastweb, which has fiber connections, and Vodafone. I am keeping Telecomitalia for historical reasons, since I am registered in about 100 sites with my mail account and I don't want to change it.CPDN is the only site which has boycotted me at times.

Telecomitalia is my ISP. Once I was banned from an Oxford link on this site because they said Telecomitalia was not responding to their requests. No other BOINC site has made any objection to me, including CERN, Berkeley, the Albert Einstein Institute etc. So maybe they are just suspicious of anybody in Italy.

I am Tullio and do not see the problem. I am running 5 CERN projects on this Windows 10 PC using Virtual Box 5.0.10, plus a SuSE Linux Virtual Leap 42.1 just to try it, and a Solaris 11.3 mostly for nostalgy, since it has no BOINC projects. I do not advice to install Leap as a Linux Virtual Machine since its BOINC client and Boinc manager do not work. I have two Linux boxes running SuSE 13.1 and 13.2 and one of them runs 32-bit CPDN projects. Maybe Ubuntu Linux is easier for a Windows user, also the Linux BOINC client is developed on it.

I am eighty too, so don't be afraid.

They are also slow, at least on my Windows 10 PC with 20 GB RAM and 2 TB disk. It is true that it hosts also VirtualBox 5.0.10 and 4 BOINC CERN projects, plus the CERN 2015 Challenge outside BOINC.

Of my six BOINC projects only ATLAS@home and CMS-dev require a 64-bit Linux. All others use 32-bit Linux apps. My two Linux boxes run 32-bit OS, although one has a 64-bit CPU. My 64-bit Windows 10 CPU runs three 64-bit Linux Virtual Machines, one 64-bit Solaris Virtual machine and one 32-bit Virtual Machine, vLHC@home. CERN has said it will update vLHC@home but so far it has not happened. The CERN 2015 Challenge, not a BOINC project. uses 64-bit Linux Virtual Machine. I am running a CPDN task on this SuSE Linux 32-bit host, plus vlHC@home. SETI@home runs 32-bit on my other Linux box, together with Einstein@home. Both SETI@home and Einstein@home run on the 64-bit Windows 10 PC.

I am running the 4.1.12-1-default kernel on my AMD A10-6700 CPU. The kernel is the default of the Leap 42.1 SuSE release. So far it only runs in a Virtual machine on my Windows 10 PC, and crunches vLHC@home.

My Windows 10 is being updated every month, so I have to suspend all BOINC work on it. I have also to restart manually the CERN 2015 Challenge running on Virtual Box after every reboot.

All computers can run CERN projects such as vLHC@home,ATLAS@home, CMS-dev and the CERN Challenge, thanks to the use of VirtualBox.

I am running Win7 on 3 laptops with 10 cores total (5 physical and 5 virtual) plus seti@home on the graphic chip on one machine. They are loaded to the gills. I have never observed any of them to reboots randomly. Maybe it is something with you machine, perhaps it id some piece of incompatible software that is causing it.

It works perfectly on the CERN projects, but I have to manually restart the Summer Challenge of vlHC@home after every reboot. It was suggested to me that reboots may be caused by Microsoft telemetry.Windows 10 sends data to Microsoft, which causes many discussions in the SETI@home message boards. Many users with Windows 7 do not want to upgrade to Windows 10. Since I bought a PC with already Windows 8 on it I have no Windows 7 or earlier.

I am a Linux user running CPDN on this SUN workstation vintage 2008. But having bought a HP PC with Windows 8 on it, soon updated to 8.1 and now to Windows 10, I am running on it 4 CERN projects using Virtual Box, plus at times SETI@home tasks and Einstein@home tasks making use of its (very slow) GPU board. I have nothing againts Windows 10, but it reboots randomly outside its updates,since I have asked Microsoft to notify me of any update needing a reboot. It has a 64-bit A10-6700 AMD CPU with 4 cores and 20 GB RAM for the Atlas@home tasks. But I am not running any CPDN on it since its tasks don't like frequent reboots. Linux never reboots except on electric blackouts, very rare.

Open SuSE send me regularly its updated both on 13.1 on this host, a SUN WS vintage 2008, and 13.2 on my HP laptop, vintage 2012. It is my choice whether to instyall them. Now I am waiting foe the next SuSE release, Leap 42.1, due in November. I shall put it as a Virtual Machine on my Windows 10 host with 20 GB RAM, where 4 CERN projects already run as Virtual Machines.

I am running CPDN on s 64-bit CPU and a 32-bit Linux OS.The last model I was running errored out after a long period (1,632,286.00 s). Now I am running another one and hope it goes well. I have also a Windows 10 PC running 4 CERN projects with Virtual Box, but it has the bad habit of rebooting for unknown reasons (it has a 20 GB RAM), not only when needed for OS updates. I asked Microsoft to notify before making a reboot so I can suspend the CERN tasks. It would not be a good CPDN cruncher. The Linux box never reboots except on electric blackouts.

I was running an ANZ task on my Windows 8.1 PC, then it was updated to Windows 10 and before I could stop it on the Advanced Option button it was rebooted by an automatic update and the task went awry. It is still seen as running, but it does not. Now I have started a hadam3p _eu_ task on my Linux box when I can control the updates more easily on SuSE Linux 13.1.

Got another update and a reboot, accepted by me. I suspended two vLHC tasks using Virtual Box but not the two CPDN ANZ tasks. Luckily, I found them only suspended.
