You can use any Linux distro but make sure the Linux distro you use has some type of GUI otherwise you wont be able to install drivers. So, let me show you how to install and optimize your Ubuntu for Litecoin Mining Rig from scratch. For this tutorial, I am going to assume you are using a blank hard disk or USB flash drive. Step 1. You will need to download the latest version of Ubuntu image for your computer. I downloaded 6. 4 bit image and most of you probably want that unless you are using a really old computer. Download Ubuntu 6. Next, you will need a USB flash drive use 2. GB or higher and install the image. To make a bootable Ubuntu USB, you can use Pen. Drive. Linux program. Its very easy to use, just download and run. Then point the image to your downloaded Ubuntu image and also to your USB flash drive. Step 2. Power on your new Litecoin Mining Rig, then go into the BIOS settings during boot. Usually its either the Del button or F1. BIOS settings. Once in your BIOS settings, make sure the SATA type is set to AHCI if using a hard disk. Step 3. On some Gigabyte motherboards, you may see something like IOMMU Controller setting. If you do see this setting, make sure its ENABLED as if you dont enable it, your Ubuntu flash drive will not boot correctly and give you an error.

There should be a setting on your BIOS that you can set your PC to power back on whenever theres a power loss. For me, its under AC BACK. You should enable this so your computer will power itself back up automatically in case of power outage so your machine doesnt stop mining when you are not home. Step 5. Once done, Save and Exit. Step 6. Next go ahead and plug in your new Ubuntu USB flash drive into your computer and boot. For my motherboard, I can press F1. Do that and choose your USB flash drive so your computer will boot into the USB flash drive. Once booted to USB flash drive, choose Install Ubuntu when you see the boot options. Next, choose Erase disk and install Ubuntu if using a hard disk. If you want to install on a USB flash drive, connect another USB flash drive thats 8. GB or higher onto your computer then choose Something else. For partition, I recommend setting around 7. GB to mount point and 0. GB to swap.  If using a larger USB flash drive, just make sure your mount point is larger than 7. GB.  You can use less but your system may slow down as Ubuntu system installation comes to near 5. GB. Step 7. When done installing, pull the bootable USB flash drive out. If using hard disk, simply reboot. If using USB flash drive, leave the 2nd USB flash drive on your computer. This is what you will be using as permanent disk drive for your new Litecoin rig. Step 8. Once rebooted into your brand, new Ubuntu OS, pat yourself on the back.

This is the easiest method to install AMD Radeon drivers and basically we are using Ubuntu to make it install the drivers. Step 1. 3. Next type sudo dpkg i fglrx. This will install the Radeon drivers. Thats it Step 1. Next, type sudo aticonfig initial f adapterall. This will set your GUI to use the new AMD Radeon graphic cards, it will work for single and multi graphic cards but if you dont use adapterall, your Ubuntu may only use 1 or 2 graphic cards for mining even though you have 3 to 6. Do not use adapterall setting for Crossfire, also MAKE SURE YOUR NOT USING CROSSFIRE in the first placeFor Litecoin mining, you do not need crossfire, you get much better performance without it. So, unplug the crossfire cableAfter that, reboot your system by typing sudo reboot. Step 1. 5. Your Ubuntu should have rebooted.
