spinynorman Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 According to The Register, SETI@Home, the popular distributed computing project, will cease to be a standalone program on December 15. There is still a Mandrake User Board Group, although this seems to have dwindled to 2 active members. Is anyone using BOINC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Is anyone using BOINC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not currently, but I did use it on WinXP earlier this year for both seti@home and einstein@home projects. It's probably been improved quite a bit since then. I thought it was a pretty slick little app. I started seti@home with BOIC so I've never used the soon to be defunct standalone app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted November 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I may give BOINC a go when I get 2006 installed. I'm more inclined to support health projects than searching for little green men... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
