Linux Questions :)

[htmlmasterdave]

I just setup my server with linux, redhat 7.2. I'm using it as a router, i have a post about that (i need some help), so check that out as well... Help! This too! . I want to install seti on there... but I don't know where to start, i am supa-newbie, i am not even sure how to unzip tar.gz files yet (as you probably saw on one of those links) If someone could run me through it, that would be great TIA

EDIT: First and second link are different problems now

I don't know anything about Linux, but there's a lot of geat members here who will help you!

Welcome to the TeAm, man!

I'll walk you through the process of setting up SETI on Linux. I'll help you with the other stuff later.

SETI Linux client for Pentium I/II, Celeron I, K5, K6-2/3
SETI Linux client for P-III/4 , Duron and Athlon

I'll be assuming you saved it in your home directory. That is /home/(your account) or ~ for short. This will all be done at a command line, so if you're in X, open a terminal.

Also, if you see something (like this), that's a key you must press.

1. tar xvf setiathome(tab)(enter)
2. cd setiathome(tab)(enter)
3. ./setiathome(enter)

BTW, if you use a setiqueue, you should add the -proxy switch to the command in step 3, like you do for the windows cli client.

Wow, they have bandwidth problems and they don't even compress their client distributions?

heh. I really haven't the slightest idea why they don't compress. Maybe someone should e-mail them.

I only have a pentium mmx... an i586... isn't that intel link for i686's?

SETI Linux client for Intel
SETI Linux client for AMD

I think the Pentium MMX counts as i686, but I could be wrong. i386 will run on anything, i686 only runs on some CPUs. If in doubt, use i386.

 

[htmlmasterdave]

Nope, it's an i586

 

[htmlmasterdave]

X windows sure does slow me down... that was nasty, it was using almost 50% of my cpu just idling! :Q Back to the command line for me...

 

[htmlmasterdave]

Oh well, i have successfully got seti running now

 

[Poof]

Congrats! And yeah, running xsetiathome will kill ya! I remember back in the day with the 1.x clients when they only had a *nix text client. Funny that as soon as they came out with xsetiathome, I grabbed it just to have some SETI graphics in X! LOL!

BTW, I used to run SETI on my P200MMX (which Red Hat calls an i586) and had to use the i386 client. I think the i686s are for PII and higher.

i386 is for Pentium I/II, Celeron I, K5, K6-2/3,
i686 is for P-III/4 , Duron and Athlon


AMD/Intel clients ROFLMAO!

anyone have any ideas about my other problems? (they are at the top, the first one really isn't an issue anymore )
