seti@home
I have abandoned Windows 2000 for Red Hat 9, which I have been running for a little over a week now, and am very happy with, although I am still VERY green. I would like to run seti@home on my Linux machine, but can't seem to find adequate information, starting with which packet to download from seti. I am running an 800mhz PIII Coppermine, and would greatly appreciate any help I could get, since I am new to the command line side of things.
Also, anyone who has never been there should check out seti for themselves at setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/
Thanks for the help

Right, and I think I know which one to download, but how do I install it?

Download the i686-pc-linux-gnu version. It will be a .TAR file, which is sort of like a .ZIP file... It has a number of files packaged into one. Untar the file with...
tar -xf filename.tar
This will produce a directory containing the files in the .TAR. Copy them to whatever dir from which you want to run SETI@home. You can then run the client from the command-line...
cd /wherever/you/put/it
./setiathome
There are also add-ons you can download to control it easier.
