I finally got a SETI@Home WU! ;)

It is funny that all the people are reporting lack of WU's.  I started 
boinc on Friday and have had work units everytime I checked.  There 
were times that I only had one or two cached but normally there were 4 
or 5.  I updated the number of days to cache and last night I had a 
whole bunch.

At first I was running boinc and classic S@H until I was reciveing WU's.

My total thought on this is:
It is the science and not the number of WU's that I am involved with. 
  I am looking at other boinc projects to participate in now that it 
is working.

I just want a decent set of documentation or manual for the boinc.  I 
havn't been able to find out about setting up for auto restart on 
reboot on linux or cron jobs to check if it is running.

Its been very spotty for me.  I have 4 computers inside my little
firewall.   2 are Windows and 2 are Linux.  One of the Windows 
computers has like 15 workunits and the other one sits idle and
is only able to sometimes get a workunit.  So it is really hit or
miss.  Both Linux computers seem to get a workunit most of the 
time, but they don't have more than one or two units ready at any
given time.  Even though they are all working off of the same 
defaults.  Kinda strange.
