The Linux client is called LinFAHR9.exe. It has .exe name in its name
because the Folding@home folks aren't very Linux literate.
It is a Linux executable. Put it in an empty directory,
chmod +x it, and run it. Here's the whole procedure.
mkdir folding
cd folding
wget http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/LinFAHR9.exe
chmod +x LinFAHR9.exe
nohup LinFAHR9.exe
If you don't have wget, use lynx instead:
lynx --source http://folding.stanford.edu/beta/LinFAHR9.exe > LinFAHR9.exe
