They don't have many clients - Windows and Linux (presumably i386) to be
precise, and neither is currently available.
distributed.net and Seti@home both have good client support. I'm running
seti@home on an HP PA-RISC workstation here while it's not doing
anything else. Seti@home even have an S/390 Linux client.
OTOH distributed.net has a Playstation2 client.
