    I've got an MM to make there, so I'll be gradually moving over as current tasks finish up.

    Also, looks like another job for a Gentoo Hydra.

    Right. OSX and Linux only.

    Why that's practically un-American. I'm not going to be much help here then at all. Not geeky enough.
    Still, would be nice if we could get this one for the team, and to screw with SG a bit.

    And, actually, it's my goal to be the first user to 10 Mil. If I accelerate on that, we should also even take the #1 position from SG.

    Actually, I ported the WEP app to windows a couple years ago but the project admin wasn't interested since he wants to promote Linux. So.... give out really crappy credit (even under the old credit system WEP was below average) and people will want to switch to Linux. Yep. That makes perfect sense.

    To enforce the Linux rules, the admin removed all other platforms other than Linux and OS X which means it doesn't allow Windows apps or even anonymous apps. So, the only way to use the Windows app is to change the BOINC config to pretend it is Linux. When you do that, WEP is the only project you can crunch.

    If you want to crunch it, a VM is easiest. I believe that my Windows app was better optimized, so if you want to run it on a CPU only machine and go for slightly higher (still pretty poor) credit, I could make the Windows app available -- if he hasn't changed his apps since I ported it, that is.

    Finally got around to setting up a new Ubuntu VM on my desktop. Now running 5 threads. My lappy runs Ubuntu so that one is easy and I have one Ubuntu VM almost ready on my i7 860.
