[OFF-TOPIC] RC5 challenge and linux
Hi,
I'd like to encourage all readers on the list with a reasonably regular
connection to the internet to download and run the rc5v2 client from
http://rc5.distributed.net/ (download the client at
ftp://ftp.distributed.net/pub/rc5/v2.004/rc5v2b4-linux-x86.tar.gz)
The client runs with a nicelevel of 19, so it shouldn't disrupt the normal
operation of your machine. There's a collective effort for Linux at
http://www.linuxnet.org/ which is right now running second place overall,
third place in today's stats only. I was hoping that by drawing in some
readers of this list, we help could knock Apple off the top place. (That's
right, Apple. I guess someone in Cupertino made it corporate policy to run
the PPC client on every desktop... which would be disastrous for
productivity given the tasking architecture of the MacOS ;) If you set
your id to 'linux@linuxnet.org' you contribute your idle processor cycles
to the collective effort. (You can run it in the background as an ordinary
user with 'exec rc5v2 &')
Hope some of you join in,
TL
