Seti on Linux

[moonshinemadness]

I could do with some instructions for installing seti on KDE Linux GUI for suse 9. Anyone know how to? this will get my second cruncher back up and running

Not sure, but I have heard over and over again that seti runs better under wine in linux rather than straight. Hope that helps.

I believe so, but you may want to confirm that 1st.

Once you install and configure wine, you should be able to use the Windows version. I never bothered with it and just ran the Linux version. I'd run the linux version while you figure out wine though

Yup, SETI runs much faster under Linux if you give it some WINE! And, ofcourse you use the Windows CLI version then...

:wine:

I'm extremely new to Linux, but what I did to install the Linux CLI was download the appropriate CLI from the SETI download page, Created a SETI folder, untarred the download into that folder, opened up a terminal session, cd to the SETI folder, then ran the SETI client with the appropriate parms, such as -verbose, -proxy xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.ppp and -nice 19. I haven't gotten fancy and created a CRON job for it.

When I get the motiviation, I'll try running the Windows version with WINE.

BBR are good for something. LOL

Saw this over at BBR which are some fairly good instructions on getting SETI up and running on a straight LINUX box (That'll be the teetotal version )

Very nice tutorial. Good and quick for those n00bs who don't have time to figure Wine out (myself included).
