I tried yesterday. Installed Ubuntu 16.10 on VirtualBox, downloaded stuff, compiled, run, got error, tried several times to fix it, deleted everything.
I didn't even got to syncing...
Right now I am installing new Ubuntu VM to run Nice Hash on it :)
Under Ubuntu, you could run the claymore miner and configure nicehash as pool.
Can you point me to some link? I am talking about cpu mining with cryptonight or equicash. These two seem to be the option in this moment.
Thanks!
Sorry, I was back at GPU mining.
For CPU you could just download nicehash for windows.
