new SETI team for justlinux

[MorphiusFaydal]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to anounce the creation of a SETI@Home team dedicated JustLinux (completely unofficial and not affiliated with this fine establishment at all).

I know, you say I should donate my CPU's to Folding@Home, but there is, rather unfortunatly, no SPARC port. So I will search for aliens instead.

Join up here to auto-join yourself to the team.

For those for whom the link doesn't work.

Anyway, see you all on Alpha Centauri!

So you resurected the JL SETI stuff eh...

PFF!
In my opinion, the justlinux foldingathome team (see sig) is a FAR more worthwhile endeavor. But they have no sparc binaries, so I guess I'll see what the ss20 can pull. Don't Laugh!

i agree. but like i (and now you) have said, no SPARC binaries, and it's not open source, so no very little chance of it happening....

and i think i must have a problem with my BOINC config, or TTU's servers block seti traffic as well :-\

I seem to be the only one realy active on this team.
Why is foldingathome more important than searching for aliens?
I have just 2 day experience with this stuff but i know how to add other teams and delegade 50% or what not!

Why is foldingathome more important than searching for aliens?

Because, unlike finding aliens, practicing folding proteins may actually help humanity find cures for some nasty diseases like Parkinson's (SP?) Disease.

Which reminds me, I need to install the Folding client again.

..Its not a bad thing, I was just commenting on the resurection of the SETI for JL team, I started one up about a year ago and a month later dropped it because I didn't see much happening, In fact a month later I still was working on the same info, at least with the folding I would finish WU of the larger size in 2 days at the most, unless I actually use the computer then it took a little longer.

if i could get BOINC to run properly (Tech may be blocking it in addition to IRC), i'd be more active

in know... sad isnt it.

My mother has been fighting breast cancer for the last year so after reading up on boinc and getting over my fondness of aliens i will join the justlinux foldingathome team! Though i still hope the aliens might help with human ilnesses!!!?
