New Build Ubuntu 16.04 or 14 - elidell - 05-09-2017 I am a total Newbie so please excuse any obvious ignorances. I am trying to build a rig and was following this tutorial: http://www.netmux.com/blog/how-to-build-a-password-cracking-rig He is using Ubuntu 14.0.4.5 Desktop amd64 I was planning on using 16.04 thinking this shouldn't be a problem but when i go to install the OpenCL Driver which he links to, i get a warning on the second step that my OS is not supported: "Detected operating system is not supported. Supported operating systems for this release are:  Ubuntu* 12.04 (Intel(R) 64), 14.04 (Intel(R) 64)" The Installation gui allows me to click next anyway, but I am unsure as to whether this matters.. so i have just canceled out of the installation.  I couldn't seem to find the driver that would not give me this warning for ubuntu 16.04.  That said I thought maybe i should just go with 14.0.4.5 but when i try to install that version of the OS, my screen just goes black after i click "Install Ubuntu" . I don't know if this is because i am using HDMI or not, but i don't have a VGA cable to try it out.. Can anyone help me either with installing the OpenCL driver on Ubuntu 16.04 or trouble shoot my installation of 14.0.4.5  Should i be using one or the other?

RE: New Build Ubuntu 16.04 or 14 - kjs - 05-23-2017 Personally, I would go with Ubuntu 16.04 unless you have a specific reason not to.
