Hello all....

I just installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 on my Laptop.
I'm tottaly new to Linux, but I heard (read) that SETI runs a bit

faster on

linux compared to WinXP.
So heres my query.

I run SETI and SETI-Queue on my main comp on winXP, they're connected
together.
How (and what) do I install on the linux laptop so it runs with

seti-queue

on my winxp comp,
like I had seti-cmdLine before, when I had winxp on the laptop?

Here's what I had: Main comp: runs WinXP: seti@home win client +

SetiQueue

                           Laptop comp: runs WinXP: seti@home

cmd-line

client connected with SetiQueue on Main Comp

Now what I have on Laptop comp: runs Mandrake Linux 9.1

I've got: "Setiathome 3.08.i386-winnt Cmdline.exe", and "seti cmd-line
setup.exe", can I use those?
The second is an automatic setup prog for the cmd-line version with
SetiDriver and SetiSpy.

What (and how) do I do?

Thanks for any help.....




Download setiathome-3.03.i686-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1.tar from the

seti@home

site, untar into a subdir, then run the client with the argument:

-proxy setiqueue host name or ip:5517 >/dev/null &

I usr msetimon to keep track of what all of my WinXP and Linux systems

are

doing.




Of course, you have to run the client the first time without the
/dev/null &
so that you can respond to the setup questions.   :-)

Then you can stop it and run with the first arguement above.
