yes it is. i installed it on my linux machines having a partition which they
share with win98 just before xmas. there's approx a 20% improvement between
the win98 screensaver and the unix cli version which knocks my network up to
15 units per day roughly. 10% of that is o/s and the rest is the cli version
so you should see an improvement.

Unfortunately the CLI version quarrels with WordPerfect (it says in the small print somewhere) so  I can install it on a couple of the powerful machines only if I also run a little program that shuts SETI down when WP is used -- which rather defeats the object.
