I believe they probably can.... Being an ardent supporter of FreeBSD myself, I can relate to your desire to use this platform to crunch. I don't have a reference but there has been a very recent thread by a Linux user who reports a dramatic increase in performance by running the windows client under WINE. Why don't you give that a try?

Heh, that user was me. I didn't even think about using wine in FreeBSD, thanks for the thoughtful suggestion!

I hope LHD is paying attention. He was the original poster who was wanting to use his existing FreeBSD machines. I would try it but I run FreeBSD on very old hardware and classic Seti WUs take 40+ hours and 90+ hours respectively so they wouldn't be any use for EAH.
I wish it can run on FreeBSD...

is a port to BeOS asking too much..? or should I also chime in with ultrasparc and alpha platforms too..?
right now seti is the only open source BOINC project and with all the recent downtime, "unpopular" configurations are rather underutilized.
Solaris / SPARC is also being

Solaris / SPARC is also being worked on. BeOS, I think, will come right behind MacOS 9 or so...

Sad Clown. That's the message I get with cvs build of 4.19 on FreeBSD 5.3.

I joined E@H because I thought it looked like an interesting project. Unfortunately, I can't contribute because there's no FreeBSD client.
Could you either provide a FreeBSD client or publish the source code so that
we can build our own clients.
