Use your unused CPU cycles to aid in computations analyzing radio
telescope information for possible signs of ET. The Enhanced version
is still beta, but this is mainly for administrative reasons.
This version is a FreeBSD binary built by Stefan Urbat for Pentium II
or AMD K6 CPUs and higher (requires MMX instructions).

Use your unused CPU cycles to aid in computations analyzing radio
telescope information for possible signs of ET.
This version is a Linux binary built by Harold Naparst for Pentium 3
CPUs and higher (requires SSE instructions). It was heavily optimized
for best performance, can process a work unit under an hour on recent
hardware.

attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports,
making all data on the location/course/velocity of the
sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the
host computer. With gpsd, multiple GPS client applications
(such as navigational and wardriving software) can share
access to GPSes without contention or loss of data. Also,
gpsd responds to queries with a format that is substantially
easier to parse than the NMEA 0183 emitted by most GPSes.

This version of SETI@home is based on BOINC (Berkeley Open
Infrastructure for Network Computing). Several other projects
besides SETI@home are using BOINC. BOINC lets you participate in
more than one project, and it lets you specify what fraction of
your computer time should go to each project.
This port requires net/boinc-client and together these supersede
the astro/setiathome port which is now known as SETI-Classic.
Be sure to join the "FreeBSD" team on the SETI website once you're
up and running.

This desklet (sensor/display) shows the current temperature, humidity, sky,
windchill temperature and a forecast of the next 4 days on your desktop.
The data is retrieved from Weather XML Data Feed project at weather.com.
The desklet is a hack based on the code of the original weather desklet, the
Liquid Weather++ module for Karamba and some very nice artwork.

SQueuer is a queueing proxy for Seti@Home with the following features:
* Keeps a configurable sized queue of work units so that
the client will always be able to get a new work unit
immediately upon finishing one.
* Queues results for uploading should the main Seti@Home
site be overloaded or down. Results are never lost and the
client is never delayed waiting to upload a result.
* Can handle multiple users running the Seti@Home client
on multiple machines all connecting to SQueuer.
* Platform independent. SQueuer has been tested and found
to work on different versions of Unix, MacOS and Windows.
All it requires is a Perl 5 interpreter.
