Need Help installing a program

[DR650SE]

I'm new to Linux so bare with me. I'm trying to install Folding@home, and when I attempt to open the package, I get the following "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python (< 2.7)" What do I need to do to fix this? I'm a n00b, sorry

What version of Ubuntu or Mint or Debian (or whatever) are you running?

Python 2.7 should be available in any current distro.

Ahh, ok. I'm running Mint 11. I'll have to update that tonight. Figure I'll just wipe the partition and start fresh. I partitioned lasnight and installed it's not like I'll lose anything. Actually updating did come to mind after I called it a night and went to bed. I think I just went with the version of Mint I had from several months ago. Thanks again! +1

While I'm at it, what is a good program for monitoring system components such as CPU/GPU load and temps? The primary use for the partition will be to run Folding@home.

You can use the sensors command, which is part of the lm-sensors package, or for constant monitoring you can use sensors-applet (gnome 2.x), gkrellm, conky, or other applets if you use kde or lxde, etc. In gnome 3 on mint 12 and later, there may be a special applet since they have a customized version of the panel and whatnot. For plain gnome 3 I use this: https://github.com/xtranophilist/gno...pu-temperature
