Hmmm... what distro is that, I wonder?  It's an oldie, I can tell. :-)

You say you're using i586 architecture, but it's a Pentium 3?  If it's a 
P3, it's actually i686-compatable.  Anything Pentium and higher by Intel 
is i686 compatable.

FWIW, I believe the 3.08 client is actually compiled to *only* run on 
i686 architecture and above, I don't think it'll run on an i586-class 
chip.

it seems the only choice is i686-pc-linux-gnu (3.08) now
but it is dynamically linked against glibc-2.2

.. so running ./setiathome returns me the error:
/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.2' not found

Yeah, you can either install glibc in there (likely side-by-side with 
your libc-2.1) or just stick with the 3.03 client.  I'm sticking with 
3.03, myself, as I really see no reason to upgrade to 3.08.
