Thanks for the reply. The Seti client minimum requirement is a Power Mac with at least 7.5.5..this version can run on the Classic but of course the Classic is not a power mac. I have Seti running on a Power Tower and as soon as I get an ethernet card for my old Performa, then it will also run Seti. Right now the two old Classics are sitting all alone in the back just asking for a task and since I am very happy with my G4 for all email, etc including Protein Folding, I want to use them for some distributed task if there is one with a client, and if not, maybe I will just let them stay in hibernation.

Did you try [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's one of the first distributed projects, and there
is a Mac client, I'm not sure what the OS version requirements are, though:

Your little Macs aren't suited to such a project, however. The
cost-to-humankind-from-power-generation-and-replacement-parts- manufacture
to benefit-to-humankind ratio is way too high. It will be months before your
Macs complete a single block for SETI.


Use them for something they're useful for, instead. I use my Mac SE/30 for
e-mail and IM. That sort of thing they can manage. Raw computing power they
don't got.
