[WLUG] Linux, Monero and Hardware Issue

[Chris Baty]

Thanks Jeff,
Through much research I figured out that the Wolf's Miner is ideally suited
for the fglrx driver which I gave up trying to install on Ubuntu 16.04.
The i-Nex gui hardware tool is also pretty cool. I kind of broke my machine
trying to make it better: my Specialty. It was fun and I learned a lot.

Regards.
Chris
