Well I've got BOINC up and running now. For newbies like me wondering how, here's the steps:

1) Go to BOINC download page. Right click Linux release and click "Save Link As". When finished, click Save. Close window. (Note: adjusting following file name based on version as needed)

2) Double click XTerminal.

3) Type the following lines, enter after each line (noting different filename if version different):

mv boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh /opt/
cd /opt
chmod +x boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
./boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
rm boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
cd BOINC/
run_manager

...and now the BOINC manager should come up and you'll know where you're at.

This has got to be the way to go on older machines being used as a BOINC farm... good luck...

Here's something I noticed...

Same computer running windows and boinc had benchmarks of 1402/1976.

Same computer running DSL and boinc had benchmarks of 689/1865.

It's a Pentium 4 2.8ghz

Time per workunit is going to look similar if not better with DSL though.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
