I wrote how to do GPU mining for Ethereum with Debian/Ubuntu here: https://www.meebey.net/posts/ethereum_gpu_mining_on_linux_howto/

TL;DR

Install/use Debian 8 or Ubuntu 16.0.4 then execute:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo sed 's/jessie/vivid/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ethereum-ethereum-*.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereum ethminer
geth account new

Copy long character sequence within {}, that is your <YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS>. If you lose the passphrase, you lose your coins! 

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-amd64 build-essential
chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run
sudo NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-367.35.run
ethminer -G -F http://yolo.ethclassic.faith:9999/0x<YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS> --farm-recheck 200
echo done
