I was running Distributed.net's RC5 and lately OGR, but I don't like the direction D.net is moving in. I really would like to do something more productive and useful to the human race than prove encryptions. I was looking at Folding and Genome projects but I have a few stipulations in how it can run. I run the tech support department at a small community college and I have full aproval from the college to run any d.net style projects as long as any money won goes to the school. So with this I was running d.net off of our server. I have it set up so that when clients log into the network the client is run from a shared folder on the network. It is run in 'quiet' mode, so that the user of the computer does not see it. This was done because users tend to freak out when new windows open 'on thier own', that and they tend to close them.
So here is my question, what projects can I run from shared folders on a network where the 'buffers' and client sit so that clients can just run an executable that loads the client from the network and grabs the WUs out of the buffer? I don't want to have to go to every machine and install this client. I need one central place to do the maintance. I also liked the idea of the 'exit.now' file of dnet, this way I could kill all the clients running if I needed to.
