This computer would never finish a WU.

There is no SETI client for it :)

Even though it will run Linux, it will have to be a custom Linux, not your
garden variety off-the-shelf Red Hat, and since they do not have access to
the source code of SETI, they will not be able to compile a SETI client to
run on it. Of course, if the SETI project were to collude with them, one
could be created, but when you don't have completed hardware and operating
systems yet it's more difficult to produce a reliable non-beta client to
return reliable results.
