Open Source Distributed Computing Software

One persons quest to keep outdated hardware out of our landfills by putting them back in use with a modern lightweight Operating System. Linux LucidPup 5.2.8 and SlackoPup 5.3.3 have been used as the base OS for this project for two reasons, compact and portable. Both versions come in two flavors: "MeatyBones" basic barebones get the job done with Wine and Boinc pre-installed "BaconBits" which is the Flagship of this project and will come with "BoincTasks", "SetiMapView" and "SETIsprint" pre-installed atop of Wine and Boinc. The two ISO's have been remastered from the basic downloadable versions available anywhere on the internet. Both ISO's have been scanned twice with Avast and Nortons antivirus and both have been tested in good to awesome condition. But don't just take my word for it that it works, go download it and test it out on your own hardware or Virtual machine. You will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you for your interest in this project. Mr. Gordon

Gridder is a group of portlets that simplify the use and administration of grid services. Especially for job submission management. Gridder also extends and documents the functionality of the OGCE Bundle. It is plenty of useful documentation.

A bash script that allows Seti @ Home users to queue up and process multiple work units. This means you don't have to connect to the seti servers after every work unit, and only when you want to.

lin-seti is a command-line program allowing to mantain a cache of work units for the Seti@Home client. Written in C, it should run on most unix-like systems, including linux. It is designed to be cache-compatible with 'Seti Driver' for Windows.

seti-stat is a simple bash script that will retrieve your SETI@home statistics using HTTP protocol, egrep and lynx browser.
