And I'm on the hook ... maybe :)
The '2006 WIYB Boinc Challenge' just started, supported by a few TFUG
members who've
developed and admin a very popular local hardware/software/gaming/etc site
called
'What's In Your Box?'.
Have a spare linux machine or two? Here's the challenge details:

Ok, admittedly not a large inducement (particularly for out-of-towners)
other than putting your pc(s) to work for a good cause ... or the
satisfaction of making me poorer :)
One thing tho ... I did learn a thing or two about linux. Fun too!
Win, Mac and other clients available plus dual-core support.
Here's one of those TFUG member's stats:

Cautionary note: good power & cooling is essential because Boinc pushes
cpu load to 100%. The faster the cpu the better though anything over 800
mhz should get the job done to meet pizza quota.
Own a few Core2Duo's? Then I'm probably toast.

Hope to see you at Mama's Jan 18th!
