[gmx-users] Installing GTX 980 on linux - which distro should i use?

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

We use Ubuntu, but recommend against using any of the apt or deb based cuda
support, and prefer the bundle of SDK stuff you get from the Nvidia website
that you run, shell-script style. In any case, get the latest distro
flavour, the latest supported CUDA on it, and the latest gcc compiler CUDA
supports.
