[Chimera-users] Broken links, system requirements

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Calvin,
	Our web sites are back up now.  For running Chimera on a server, it depends what you will be doing with Chimera.  If you will be running Chimera-command or Python scripts that don't save images, you can use any version with the --nogui flag.  If you will be running scripts that do save images, you can only do that with the "headless" Linux version.  If users will be trying to run Chimera from the server and remoting their display to their client, that will be very difficult to get to work (assuming the remoting is via the X protocol).  It rarely works unless both the client and the server have the same graphics card, and since your server has no graphics card...
