Krydos Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Yeah, me too for the most part. If we write a Linux port of the program we'll let you know, but for now it's Windows only because we figured that would get the most users. Thanks for using HelioHost. Let us know if you need help with anything.

Krydos Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Since mint uses apt these should work for you http://assets.raxsoft.com/bin/rgs/assignment/linux/ I wrote and tested it on ubuntu 17.10. If you have a newer cpu with hyperthreading try one of the _ht ones. Let us know if you have any issues as this script is very untested.
