I run Seti on all my home machines, my kids's machines, my macMini... I personaly prefer to run Seti on Linux machines as they seem to process work units MUCH faster. I recently upgraded my home machines (01/2010) to Intel Corei7 processors. Whoa! what speed! And they allow 8 processes for each machine now. Oops, make that 10 processes, as I just got the two nVidia cards to process on their GPU's!
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1) Yes ET exists.

2) Yes send beacon. Send word/image pairs and alphabet

3) If we know other races exist, perhaps some of the religious nuts would be forced to perhaps re-examine their views on religion..


By the way, Linux runs Seti MUCH faster than Windows...
