A lil bit of SUNshine for SETI/BOINC

[zaph]

It seems that SUN is donationg a nice package of servers and workstations to the BOINC project.
You can read the article at The Register

🙂

Of course we urge all potential SETI crunchers to ignore the links to join the Register's team at the end of the article, and join Team Anandtech instead 🙂

Cool, sounds good 🙂

Thanks for the link, zaph 🙂

A tip of my cap to Scott McNealy and Sun Microsystems. :wine:

Thanks for the info, zaph 🙂

That's actually pretty humorous, considering the rest of SSL is dumping Sun and migrating to Linux.

Well that's a software OS shift not the Hardware.

Nice job SUN

No, it's a hardware and software shift.


And yes, Sun supports Linux---but the last time I checked they don't support it on systems not purchased from Sun. 😉


SETI of course, takes whatever it can get as it is purely supported by donations. It is just ironic that the IT folks at SSL will have to keep dealing with an architecture that they are trying to get away from.

Sounds about normal for IT work. Plus, take what you can get. 😉

Definitely kind of funny though. 😀
