Folding at home with Debian
Hi,
Home page:
http://folding.stanford.edu/English/HomePage
Package available here (for wheezy):
https://fah-web.stanford.edu/file-releases/beta/release/fahclient/debian-testing-32bit/v7.1/fahclient_7.1.52_i386.deb
BUT dependency problem with:
fahclient : Depends: libssl0.9.8 but it is not installable
BUT EASILY fixed by following directions here:
http://foldingforum.org/./viewtopic.php?f=67&t=21736&p=217859&hilit=Debian#p217860
THEN dpkg -i fahclient_7.1.52_i386.deb
That last link shows the true versatility of the Debian package system,
and even if you don't want to help get rid of all world diseases, it has
some handy information in it.
Once installed edit:
/etc/fahclient/config.xml
The Debian team is "2019" hint, hint.

A passkey will make sure your contributions are unique even if someone
has the same user name.
Once rec, just paste it into the "<passkey value=""/>" section of
/etc/fahclient/config.xml
You can run more instances by running /usr/bin/FAHClient as a user.
Good luck!
