Is anyone running a [EMAIL PROTECTED] client, Linux version? http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/unix.html
They don't differentiate Linux from Unix,
Thanks for replying. I understand that there isn't any difference between Linux and Unix as far as they are concerned.
so you want to follow the Unix client README.
I've read the README file and understand enough to get started, once I know which version to use. But the README file doesn't address which version of the client is suitable for my machine. It does mention that the i386 version will work just fine on i486 and up, but I still don't know which i386 version I should be using.
I assume my vintage 1995 Pentium is considered an i586, and that I could use a client intended for an i386, i486, or i586. What I don't find is one of those clients in the list of 56 that is one I can use.
There are four i586 clients listed. Two are i586-pc-beos, so I assume they're not going to work. One is i586-novell-netware, and the other is i586-sequent-sysv4. I'm guessing that the sequent-sysv4 might be close, but I thought Linux was more closely related to sysv5.
There are no clients listed for i486.
Here's the list of i386 clients:
i386-pc-bsdi4.1: i386-pc-os2-warp.zip: i386-pc-sco3.2v5.0.x: i386-pc-solaris2.6: i386-pc-solaris2.6: i386-pc-sysv4.2uw2.1: i386-sco-sysv5.unixware7: i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.8: i386-unknown-freebsd4.0: i386-unknown-netbsd1.3: i386-unknown-openbsd3.3: i386-winnt-cmdline.exe: i386-winnt-cmdline.exe:
The closest sound one is i386-sco-sysv5.unixware7. How do I know if I'm guessing correctly?
The X11 client README assumes you already have the unix client installed. Looks almost identical to what you saw in the win version.
I'm not concerned with the graphical output. I've watched it on Windoze, and unless you're a dedicated mathematician it's not that interesting. I generally shut it off after 2-3 hours. ;-)
My only interest is to provide [EMAIL PROTECTED] with some more processing time from my fairly unloaded Linux machine. It just sits there and runs in the basement, providing file storage and music piped to the stereo in the living room.
