Hello List;
I am a long time user of the seti@home screen saver on the windows platform. Am moving to Linux and would like to continue the search. Anybody got experience using seti as screensaver? Using SuSE 8.2 with KDE desktop. Any help would be appreciated. Step by step instructions would be lovely. Be gentle, I'm a real newbie. Thanks. Not sure if you can use it as a screensaver. Seti for linux is a command line version, but includes the xsetathome client. You run
./setiathome -graphics and then in another consle run ./xsetiathome and it will give you the graphics output that you get in windows. It does run a little faster without the -graphics though. Maybe someone has written a xscreensaver frontend for xsetiathome? Hans
