remote monitoring and security, while windows offers you overclocking tools
that can achieve much more than cgminer can do on linux.
+Q: Can I mine with cgminer on a MAC?
+A: cgminer will compile on OSX, but the performance of GPU mining is
+compromised due to the opencl implementation on OSX, there is no temperature
+or fanspeed monitoring, and the cooling design of most MACs, despite having
+powerful GPUs, will usually not cope with constant usage leading to a high
+risk of thermal damage. It is highly recommended not to mine on a MAC unless
+it is to a USB device.

Q: Cgminer cannot see any of my GPUs even though I have configured them all
to be enabled and installed OpenCL (+/- Xorg is running and the DISPLAY
variable is exported on linux)?

Q: I switch users on windows and my mining stops working?
A: That's correct, it does. It's a permissions issue that there is no known

Q: My network gets slower and slower and then dies for a minute?
A; Try the --net-delay option.
