Just install SuSE linux on a new machine and downloaded the correct cli for
linux but have no clue as to how to install it to run.  Any help for a
conplete linux newbie would be greatly appreciated.

Is the file you downloaded a .tar or is it .tar.gz?

If it's .tar, open up a console and untar it with:

tar -xvf setiat<hit the tab key here for filename autocompletion>

If it's a .tar.gz, open up a console and untar it with:

tar -xvzf setiathom<tab>

Then cd to the new setiathome directory and run the seti client... is it 
called setiathome?  I don't recall.  Do an ls to view the contents of 
the directory.

Run the client with ./setiathome, answer the questions, then you can 
just manually start the client by running 
/home/yourusername/setiathome/setiathome every time you log in.  You'll 
have to learn a little bit before you start worrying about getting it to 
start automagically, I think.
