Fwd: Ubuntu For A Cause

[Jay E]

I'm pretty new to Linux here, running Kubuntu 11.04 with Windows (cuz
I gots to have my games :p)

But here in Portland we have a FreeGeek program that lets people get
free Ubuntu boxes fo volunteer work, once I have that would anybody be
able to walk me through setting it up to run BOINC exclusively?

One other thing... For those of you new to Distributed Computing once you
setup BOINC and configure it with all the appropriate settings it will run
in the background as a process based on the preferences you set which makes
contributing to this project a hassle free task. If you ever desire to
change the preferences you can do so via GUI or you can pop open terminal
and use nano to edit the config files.

If anyone needs help getting off the ground do not hesitate to ask.... I'm
thinking about building out a Dual Xeon 1U server just for contributing to
WCG although I might wait till winter because the extra heat is probably not
going to be fun this summer ;p
