I finally got my old P133 to boot into mandrake linux, now how do I go about connecting it to my windows network and how do I set up SETI on it?

I'm a total linux n00b so i'm going to need some help 🙂
 
we'll assume you have the client downloaded? obviously you gotta have that.. BUT:
you gotta pick the right one.. which linux install for SETI did you pick? i think there is a bunch..
i have SETI running on slackware 8.1 in my house... the machine is down right now for upgrades, else i'd check to see which one i have downladed.
it works great with KSETIspy.

I didn't download a client because I have no idea which one to get.

I was going to try to set up SAMBA today but I changed my mind, it looked complicated

😕😱
 
Here's what I can think of for now, I'll post more tomorrow, after I have gotten some sleep

:

1. The client you want is i386-pc-linux-gnu-gnulibc2.1 (you'd use i686 for ppro or better CPU)
2. To run the SETI client, you just run ./setiathome -proxy your.setiqueue.address:port in the seti directory
3. By 'setting up samba', what do you mean? If you just want to access a shared drive from Linux, the commend is mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=password //compname/sharename /any/empty/directory
 
And if you want to do so easy managing on your samba server or any other service on your system, install Webmin.
This very nifty tool can safe you a lot of time and you can configure everything graphical and webbased.

Good luck!

fdisk

OpenBSD runs fine on my 36mhz sparc. It wouldnt slow down as much as it does if I had more than 32mB of ram. p133 should be fine to learn linux. Learning one of the bloated/modern DEs might be tough though.
