I am a complete, and utter newbie with Linux period. But I would really like to get BOINC S@H up and running under Suse Pro 9.2.

If anyone can help, or point me to a very well written How-To, I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,
RPMurphy

have you found BOINC's HOWTO?

Yes, and I followed the following instructions to the letter except changed the string at end to be my account number.

"Use gunzip to uncompress the file if your browser has not done it for you.
chmod +x the executable.
put the executable into a separate directory (say, boinc/).
run the executable. The first time you run it you'll need to attach it to a project, e.g.:
boinc_client -attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu df0d93e384a2700f70e0bc45a1b2c96c"

This board clipped my response short :)

EDIT The file executed, and created two additional files, both .xml
But beyond that I get nothing. Not running as a process, or anything as far as I can tell. And is not showing as another computer under my account. Completely clueless here.

are there any status or error messages? in the boinc directory there should be the subdirectories projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu
inside there is where the work units and seti executable should have been automatically downloaded. if it is running, run 'top' from the command prompt and the setiathome-4.xx executable should be at the top of the list of running programs
