In my office I have 50 macs with macosx tiger and one macosx server. I don't want to configure every mac to run seti but I can incorporate it into xgrid cluster. But boinc@seti can see it?

The short answer for most people is NO. However if you can figure out how to make X-Grid look like a single cluster machine, I'm sure some folks would be interested. Not something the developers are going to work on any time soon.

As it is now, X-Grid is really just another Distributed Computing process, not a true cluster. Trying to break the work down to smaller pieces again for processing by other computers probably wouldn't be effective or worth the effort.
