(moderation:
Can someone give me a rather basic list as to how to run E@H under Linux? I am running fedora Core 3, that s brand new install, and for some reason I have not been able to get it running. I am admitedly tying to 'learn' linux.

Assuming that you're using 4.19 (the latest release version - if you're using a beta it's a bit different) in the directory where the file is on the command line, type:
gunzip boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu.gz
to extract the file. Note that some browsers automatically extract files as they are downloaded, so if you get an error it's possible that it's already extracted.
Put the file in the directory where you want to run it, if it's not already there, and then type:
chmod +x boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu
to make the file executable.
After this, type:
./boinc_4.19_i686-pc-linux-gnu
and it should execute. It will then ask for the url and account key - and off it should go.
Everthing up and running

Everthing up and running ?
have some additional info on getting the 'screensaver graphics' on boinc 4.19.
it operates through a telnet session as follows:
open an xterm window and type:
telnet localhost 31416
the system will respond with: trying localhost 127.0.0.1, connected to localhost.
type including the brackets:
the system will respond with and a window will pop up with the graphics!!
to stop type the 'ctrl-key' and ] (=right bracket) then: quit.
Be sure to have your graphics accelerator on, otherwise these graphics are to much memory consuming:
You can check this with the command: glxinfo
The result should show 'direct rendering: Yes'
Succes
