Hmm. PPro 200, 64Mb. Now I'm worried :-(

Dual PPro 166 with 256Mb of memory here, running Linux. Setiathome solves
a package every two hours.
Dump Windows.

Hmmm. I'll try it on my NT box tomorrow.
Won't bother at home, it took four hours to download this.

How many MegaNIPS?

There must be a problem with your P-II. I would expect yours to do a
package every hour (or less) under Linux. (Are you runing Windows by any
chance?)
I was involved in testing the setiathome stuff during the development. I
think maybe something has changed - I've not used setiathome for a while,
I will double check the time it takes to numbercrunch a package again in
case they've changed something.
AFAIK, running Setiathome under Windows seems to be much much slower.
What's your MegaNIPS figure (if you are after all using Linux)?

'Man' hunt??? What makes anyone think there are more 'men' out there
somewhere? And if we go out there looking for them, we would be the
'aliens', not them.

'Intelligent life'? Then you're surely not looking for a 'man' type
entity.

Yawn! Yawn! Yawn!
You need to blow up Mars to discover the truth sonny!
All life are fractal bloat divide functions - I don't see
any issues. Anywhere there is an ocean and compartmentalising chemistry,
life will have arrived. The purpose of life is to preserve the
contents of a fractal bloat and divide 'digital' matter control function
and its obvious that Darwinianism is crap as it extoles virtues of
survivability when in fact the issues are preservation of internal
contents of bloat and divide matter functions.
Obviously blowing up Mars will resolve the issue as we will either not
be left with any further samples if its blown to smitherines, or we
we will left with large numbers of samples
from which we can draw irrefutable conclusions.

hehe.
Actually..this is a very smart idea by SETI...apparently 400,000 people
have signed up. How much computing power is that?...almost like having a
supercomputer with 400,000 parrallel processors.
Does the the SETI screensaver dial up into the network automatically
whenever it wants to down/up load some data.?.then disconnect whilst its
processing the data?..(Modem access that is..ethernet is a permanent
connection anyway).

You have a choice. You can set it to upload results & get more data
when it needs to, or to flash in the system tray and ask you too. It
only connects for a couple of minutes every couple of hundred hours
though.

My pooter running 2.3.3 crashed last night. :-/ So much for reliability,
but at least it was a development kernel. Netherless, it means setiathome
didn't complete. I'll have to start again.

Yes. That is exactly correct.
