RE: [cobalt-users] Stupid question: SETI@home for RAQ?

["Will Eberle" <wiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Apparently you live in an area of the country which does not get news
reports. @home is a now-defunct (or at least spotty 'till it goes black
forever in slightly less than 90 days) entity. Anyone using AT&T's former
@home service has been unceremoniously dumped in the lap of @attbi.com.
Comcast Cable and one or more other calme companies shelled out 150+ million
and upped fees to exite@home to maintain service for the aforementioned 90
days, ostensibly while they ready their own networks. You PROBABLY want to
keep as much distance as you can between your business and @home.

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-s
tatic.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)

ftp://serendip.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/setiathome-3.03.i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulib
c2.1.tar
