There is a linux X86 client, it has no pretty graphics tho :P

It's staticlly linked, so it should run on most X86 linux machines
including a raqX , Havn't actually tried it tho. It does use some ram, and
will probably increase server latency, For what a Raq costs it seems like
a silly use... There is no pretty RPM, just a tgz file, dump it in a
directory, minor setup, make a startup script...

Oh, yeah, it transfers ~ 3/4meg a day, so you get to sell a little
bandwidth :P

This client should work on any x86 type Raq (eg > Raq2):
ftp://serendip.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/setiathome-3.03.i386-pc-linux-gnulibc1-static.tar

This client needs glibc2.1, will save memory, but it' more likely to not
work (I'm almost certain it won't on a Raq3, Not really sure what c lib
version the 4 has)
