Are there plans to support other hardware / operating systems?
I'd assume there are many PPC, Sparc, Alpha users willing to participate. I'm one. Even in the Intel world, support for Linux would be great. How about a portable version in written Java. Ken |

That would be great. Then I could contribute at work and home. It should be possible since United Devices has a Grid MP client for the Mac.

Unfortunately, right now we only have a Windows agent available. We'll be sure to post information about support for other platforms when such support is available, but this will probably not be real soon. Sorry.

I suppose us *NIX geeks can always use WINE, I'll give it a shot tonight to see if it works

You could also try a virtual machine system such as vmware.

I run several servers that have plenty of spare processing time. If you had a NIX version I could get more work done.

I'm running fedora core 2, and installed wine-20041019-1fc2winehq.i686.rpm.
1. I run wine against the agent installer 2. an error msg asks if I want to go to some page where I can install some MSI technology. 3. the web page asks me to log into grid.org 4. I never registered, so I try to figure out how to get an ID 5. the only way to get an ID on grid.org is to download ud_agent_setup.exe 6. I run wine against ud_agent_setup.exe goto #2. )-: perhaps I'll see if I can rustle up some windows (bleah) machine. |

Folding@Home works in other systems than Windows. Isn't this basically the same thing as F@H anyway? http://folding.stanford.edu/
