| Subject: SETI@Home Client on a Linux server |

I have a low transaction volume server running on an ADSL connection.
As the server uses PHP and MySQL (on a Linux distro) I need to have
sufficient processing power there for the very little traffic it handles
- it needs to be responsive. I therefore am running a 1.8GHz Duron
processor. Most of the time the machine is idling. If I install the
SETI client I want it to stop processing whenever anything else requires
the processor (or at least be very low priority) - I don't want a
degradation of speed serving pages. Is the priority set as being low
and how easy is it to install on Debian? The APT package did not work
when I tried yesterday. Also are there any security considerations I
should be aware of?
TIA,
RT
