    AFAIK BOINC can work under WINE. :?

    I certianly know that Folding@home can be run under wine and running the windows client under wine on linux outstrips performance on windows and using the default linux client :S

    BTW will be keeping a closer eye on this project. Feel my small box I can spare (my laptop is win 2K and I recently moved my main rig to linux (:D) and I cant access the other windows box yet...) cant be much use at this stage when you want quick returns.

    Good luck and when you need some more user's I'll add myself to it and remove Predictor...that way my laptop will be 100% maths BOINC projects (Primegrid and This)

    yes, there is always wine, but everyone doesn't install "X" on their linux boxes. Without X, I don't know whether wine could be utilized or anything set up to run under wine. And then there is also the "purist" issue that running windows on linux isn't exactly the linux-geek way to do things.
