One 'gotcha' to be aware of:

If you are going to run more than one project under Boinc, then you should 
set in the user preferences:

Leave project applications in memory while activities are suspended?
(applications will always consume swap space if 'yes') *YES*

Otherwise, a project is forced back to whatever was its last checkpoint 
when restarted after a preemption. Setting "yes" and so leaving the 
project in memory permits it to continue from the preemption point without 
loss of progress.


Happy crunchin',

Where are these preferences? I've found a few references to them on various 
sites but none say where they are.
