Looking at NV AP Linux share on main one can conclude there are quite many NV devices running under Linux to justify porting effort.
Nethertheless we have no MB NV under Linux even on beta. Why so?

Because the Cuda NV Linux app is stuck in alpha for lack of developers?
There's been some discussion on main from people who have built x41zc with varying success iirc.

But AFAIK there is working binary. Maybe worth to pass it for beta testing at least on beta?
There is at least 2 threads on main regarding building under Linux, one is even in "manual-style". Binary was received in result, not?

Here: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74768&postid=1522788 even benchmark results listed, not bad Qs.

EDIT: and here is that "manual":

EDIT2: I see some discussion of upcoming x42 CUDA build, but as I understand it's some improvement of currently released for other platforms i.e. work in progress.
But for Linux NV MB we have nothing at all as stock - even "older" variant - that's the issue.

It's not up to me.
But I can raise the issue.

From my end the limitations have been resources, i.e. both time and equipment. Eric was made aware that working builds exist, but I never received a response to questions as to exactly what's needed for a Linux release. A mac version exists as well, but suffers similar issues and some extra due to some sortof library and driver issues I'm not familiar with.

So to now, Linux and mac builds remain in the domain of anyone who wants to build them ... I won't be chasing stock implementation of something I can't provide and test myself yet, so the field is open to anyone that wishes to try.

Thanks for summarizing current state.
Looking at relative app performance:
http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/apps.php
I would say promoting Linux NV MB to stock would be good step in computational power increase.
Pity I'm not too familiar with Linux environment to provide any binaries, will see what can be done on this front.

I'll let Richard explain why that 'app performance' has nothing at all to do with how apps really perform.

Later. Bit busy with more important things this morning.
