I want to change the OS on my PC from actually Windoze Vista x64 to Debian/sid amd64 but i don't want to install any GUI cause i don't need one. This PC will only run boinc. Not less and not more.

Is ist possible to run gpugrid without a GUI? or do I need to install and run one?

from a text terminal use this script to create the devices. All the rest is more or less standard.

gdf

#!/bin/bash

modprobe nvidia

if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then

# Count the number of NVIDIA controllers found.
N3D=`/sbin/lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "3D controller" | wc -l`
NVGA=`/sbin/lspci | grep -i NVIDIA | grep "VGA compatible controller" | wc -l`

N=`expr $N3D + $NVGA - 1`
for i in `seq 0 $N`; do
mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidia$i c 195 $i;
done

mknod -m 666 /dev/nvidiactl c 195 255

else
exit 1
fi
