Typed " sudo apt-get install ia32-libs"
downloaded the smp client and then typed ./fah5
1. Logged in as "user"- create a folder in your user Home directory that you're going to use as your FAH directory.
2. Navigate to Stanford's client download page and download the SMP client to the folder you created.
3. With that folder open, open a console from the folder's toolbar, under Tools. If you have a (your) username@(name-of)host:~home/SMP client/boxen$ then you're ready to type ./fah5 -advmethods -forceasm -local -verbosity 9, the hit Enter(Return). You'll see the usual deployment of the executable take place. What you won't see is the oppertunity to put your username and team number in...not to worry.
4. After a bit, just CTRL+C to kill the client; then go to the folder that you're folding the client in, open the config document, edit it and "save".
5. Restart the client with ./fah5. I don't know if you have to add the flags manually again; perhaps someone can clarify that issue.

Very nice thing, that. Hotdog explains most of how to do it in his thread, Hotdog's Experiences.
I'd run VMware but my X2-3800 doesn't support VT.

My old S939 X2-3800+ runs it just fine (VMware Server + Ubuntu 64bit). Around 600 to 700PPD when not OCed (depends what else I'm working on so could be higher than that if left alone). And I also run a regular CPU client that does another 50PPD or so on that system
