Riesel Sieve forum is busted, so I'm posting here.
I have two computers in my room running full tilt in Riesel Sieving, even when they weren't running I had trouble during the summer sleeping in my room because of the cooling issues. Now it's the exact opposite and it's a GOOD thing I have hot air blowing out the back of my computer's.
Anyway, I was wondering if it's possible to boot up the computer's in the normal way(hard drive in each computer doing it's thing) and then have my main computer remotely start an instance of sieving so a hard drive can run down in my secondary computer? I know someone's going to suggest Linux and, honestly, I'm dragging my feet because of the learning curve. Can anyone help me if I stick to Windows?
