As long as we're wishing, I think I'll wish for SETI@Home graphics for Linux like y'all have in Windows. :-)

Oh, looks like this is the first post in the problems/questions/suggestion boards, too. :-)

This will be done by M2 (shutdown of S@H1). Task #1040. The taskbase can be found at:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/taskbase/database.cgi

This site is still under development.

No announcement has been made that it is ready, yet people seem to be starting to find it.

Hi Friends :),

I got the information that Berkeley hired a student for this summer, who will port the graphics to X11 and Mac OS X. So possible in autum we will see graphics on linux too.

And this site is so easy to find. ;) I was reading about it in german message boards yesterday morning. *rofl* And now a central german BOINC site (no name given ;) ) reports it too.

Hrmmm. I'd rather see a cli client for windoze. Isn't cranking out a seti1 unit in 90-120 minutes better than watching red and purple boxes drawn for 3-4 hours to do the same WU? But sure...some of you only run it for the pretty pictures, so yeah, it makes sense to have a gui thing for nix. I dumped the "pretty pictures" concept in general after I got my electric bill for running matrix screensavers on about 20 monitors in the basement for a month. I did hear the boinc gui looks cool tho, and I saw settings to reduce cpu avail for graphics...I might check it out if I can ever get a workunit downloaded. /me hasn't seen boinc run yet.

Thus I am not gladly that the part under Linux/Unix present am! Eh nevertheless only performance robs!!! Thus, in ined.d with BOINC, run-on-boot and conclusion!

Da mein English nicht so doll ist, greetings from Babel Fish! ;-)

If numbers help, I'd love to see a good graphical interface for Linux, too!

I think graphics would be *really* low level, but how about some percentages output, like the classic version did? One kind of loses interest if one lets the thing run for an hour or two and no change is visible. ;^}

Here, here! ;)

I know there are a few front-ends available and I'm using one but what about a simple command-line option within BOINC itself for all programs...similar to -verbose in SAH1.

exactly what I was thinking of...
