 |

I've got and old three processor EV4 box running Debian Linux that ran
classic Seti@home when it was last used in anger.
We may be running it as a server again, and as it will be up 24/7 it
would be nice to have it do something useful.
Are there any public good projects that still use this platform ?
Cheers, J/.

For Alpha CPUs ?

We were in the top 350 contributors to this one, and it was great, but
it ended in April and never worked on Alphas !

Don't see anything about Alpha CPU ?

I do, but as reliable up to date Alpha stuff is thin on the ground, I
though I'd ask where there might still be some Alpha users. Some of the
material out there looks as if it mat predate the end of Classic Seti.
