Hidding DF in Linux

[Mark F]

I will check the FAQ's on our distributed projects site, but I was here first so...

Just started to use Linux ( for a class ), so of course I want to run DF for MU. So far I had no problem getting things running with a larger buffer and useing more memory; but I've only been able to get it going in a terminal. Sure I can use the GUI and run it in a different work space and not minimise it... But there has got to be a more elegant solution than useing an entire console for a single program. Or what about a nice front end like dfGUI ?

Thanks for any help!

Ok, so there is a dfGUI for Linux, that should do the trick. Stop lauffing already . But any other ideas are still welcome.

If you add a & to the line it will run in the background.

./foldit &

If you are going to do this you should have the quiet switch in foldit, -qt. I don't know what would happen if it didn't have that, I have never tried it.

Thanks.
I'll give that a try.
I'm just starting to learn/use Linux so even some of the simplest things are unknown to me; yet!
I'm starting it with -df -rf -qt, so that shouldn't be a problem.
