wants WINE becourse it is a Windows program.

Sorry, that was all I know about linux software. I'm just a linux
beginner. But why not combine best of the two worlds: take an old PC
with W2k and internet connection and run it with SETIQueue. Mine does
his job here were well. Then let your linux client(s) connect to him.
SQ is easy to install, stable, gives you a lot of information, has a
web interface and also works fine through internet.

An interesting work-around (:-))

I had SetiQueue, SetiSpy, and the Win-NT CLI s@h classic all running under one instance of Wine on Mandrake Linux. All worked well with never a crash and it seemed to be more speedy than for my prior Windows hackings days.

The issues of having a local SetiQueue-like queue have now been absorbed as part of Boinc for the Boinc-s@h2. A much neater idea.


Aside: As s@h2 grows further, it looks like Berkeley may need to go parallel or distributed with their database engine that coordinates all the server-side stuff for their boinc. Most of their recent problems seem to be centred on their database getting continuously and badly thrashed.


Good luck,
