Hi folks,
I'd like to install BOINC on my VPS which does not have any windowing manager installed. I'd like to keep it that way (no X11). Is there an alternative? |

Yes, BOINC runs just fine without graphics.
Ideally, set it up to run as a daemon, then use boinc_cmd to control it. If you use a package manager, look for the boinc-client package, and it will set up the daemon for you. If not, I'm sure you can set it up manually. |
