What is the best operating system configuration for a computer to run (bitcoind or Bitcoin-Qt) and (BFGminer or CGMiner) under Linux, assuming that it will be connected to a 3 Terrahash mining rig on one side and the internet on the other side?
What packages, at minimum, must be installed?
How much bandwidth will I need using the Stratum protocol and how much using the GetBlockTemplate protocol?
EDIT TO ADD:
What I mean by “best configuration” is the minimum configuration that provides the necessary functionality.
I’m willing to bet that 90 percent of what’s in a desktop Linux distribution is not needed in this application.
Obviously, a kernel and a shell will be needed. What else?
