Re: Folding@Home

Has anyone got the Linux client to work?

The linux version just fires up wine ... and then shuts down again, even after changing the permissions.

My little Athy 1800 Linux box is on 24/7 doing .... err .. light duties ... which leaves alot of CPU cycles unaccounted for.
My Beast (X2-3800+) is only usually on when I'm using it.

I have now got two work servers & my work PC running it

A P4-2.0Ghz .. on 24/7 .. used as a file server for a few files only .. very light duties
And a P4 3.0Ghz .. on 24/7 .. also a file server, used alot more.

What fileserver needs more than a smidgeon of CPU time? The CPU's just sit there & idle while the HDs churn!

And my Work PC - X2-3800 .. on for approx 10hrs/ day
Lots of free time there

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.
