I can't seem to get my kernel to compile properly with the required additions... (though really it's more that I have a mish-mash of kernel modules that I compiled, but that arent marked... I'm about ready to chroot myself a whole new installation and move to the 2.6.20 kernel... gentoo is not the best face of easy linux But last time I checked, a lot of binary distros were below the version required to run folding@home... I have an account on my computer just for it, and once I get everything sorted out (I'm in montana and I forkbombed myself accidentally when I was playing with a shell script that ran itself in the background... it never quite met the condition it was supposed to (in my mind) and now I image I have some thousands of iterations of bash running, but I can't even ssh in as root for a killall/pkill))

Maybe a concept like the one used at Devshed should rope in a few more members. Of course considering that you need really good computers to Fold, only the ones with a decent configuration would be able to contribute.
I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

Happiness corrupts people.

Failing to value the lives of others cheapens your own.

You can set it up as a screensaver so it only works when you're not using your computer.

I tried this when Dani just posted it. Didn't work. Doesn't even start.. Er, is really this vista-compatible?
