Hello everyone!
I have access to 2 systems, one running Windows 98 with the graphical version of seti@home (version 3.08) and another one running GNU-Linux, but this last system _isn't_connected_ to the web.
I'we downloaded and installed the Linux version of the client.
But now, how to download some data to crunch with my Linux system?
And how to send it back when finished?
Is there some program useful?

You could try doing clever things with some of the add-ons that will import and export WUs (setiStash, setiDriver, setiMon???)... But check for what happens if you are running different clients between the machines. A workaround would be to use the same win-NT on Linux using Wine (works well on this Linux system).

BUT...

Why waste your time?!!!

Two NICs and a cross-over CAT5 cable can be had for negligible cash cost. Much better solution.

Or even go IrDa or wireless...

You could then also use your Linux box to firewall the Windoze machine against the many MS worms and viruses...


Also note that BOINC is soon to arrive...

Good luck,
Martin
