[Fwd: Re: seti@home for alpha]
I recently placed SETI@HOME on my an axp pci 33. Got the client
directly from seti@home's web site. The url is:
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html
the client's name is alpha-unknown-linux-gnu.
As best I can tell, it's a statically linked binary. Upon initial
installation, it complained about a lockfile already in use. There
wasn't a lock file in the run directory. Perusing the help pages for
it, there is a -nolock option that skips the lockfile. Even with this
option set, I only get one instance of seti for the given user in the
given directory.
It has now been running on the AXP for about three weeks.

There is one, but it doesn't seem to run very well (see the bugs that I
have filed on it in the Debian BTS). I've also filed reports directly
with SETI themselves, but they haven't replied. Not really surprising;
this is a pretty minority platform!
