I've decided to leave all my x86 machines (Win9x, Linux and FreeBSD) crunching
away at GIMPS/PrimeNet, and run the SETI@Home client on the Sparc machines I
administer. The *NIX SETI clients don't come with all that GUI crap,
GIMPS/PrimeNet runs faster on x86 boxes, and I don't have time or energy to
muck about with non-PrimeNet GIMPS clients.
