In fairness, there is some information at their web site.

It appears you haven't read some very relevant (to you) information.

I got the impression from a post in the other seti news group
that, post 15 December, those of us who don't use boinc will
no longer be welcome -- i.e. our seti efforts simply won't work.
Well, so be it.

I don't use microsoft.  I don't use mac os.  I don't use linux.
I don't even use the current version of freeBSD which I do use.

Nor have I any intention of allowing the seti folks or any one
else to decide for me what OS or even what version of an OS I
shall run on the machine that I bought and paid for with *MY*
money.


As far as I can tell they aren't telling you what OS (or version) you
shall use. The have a page "Make your own client software" at

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/anonymous_platform.php

(direct link from the download page, in plain sight).

From there, go to Download and compile.
Since you are probably a true *nix geek you should have no problem
compiling BOINC for whatever version of FreeBSD you use.

Clear skies.
