| I'll run this, but it will get far from full potential. If they really wanted to get the work done, they would release clients for more than just Win32/intel. Dnet had a multitude of clients for various operating systems and platforms, which let it be run on nearly anything, even DOS and 68k Macs. I have a quad Xeon 500 that could do this pretty fast, but it's got Linux (cheaper than 4 CPU Windows, or any Windows for that matter). Currently my Linux machines are still doing Dnet, but I changed the preferences so they do work on all the projects. If CDFreaks has a group for a distributed computing project which has a Linux client, please speak up.

Junior's Bar where the band is playing, just for me.
They play real loud, they move the crowd,
It's a poor boy's symphony.
