I think an xscreensaver should be doable IMO, if CPDN could
do it then why not CERN? it's the best I've seen running under
windoze.....yea u think S@H2 would have some graphics for us...
go figure....CERN has the best screensaver, and CPDN a very nice
xwindows interface....

We have thought of porting our screensaver to linux, it shouldn't be too hard in itself. Biggest problem is that CLI BOINC client does not support screen savers. So the screensaver would have to be a seperate process which communicates with the sixtrack client somehow. Meaning that amount of glue needed exceeds our current capacity.

For the X interface... I think there are some generic BOINC X GUIs, but I haven't tested nor seen any.

Markku....there's nothing out there with any "eye candy"
currently. Boincgui 0.4 only supported up to 3.18, and it
only shows progress, cpu time..etc.
If your team could port the screensaver or an xinterface
that would be greatly appreciated by those of us running
only nix boxes...

The climateprediction is a saperate addon that you run from a shell script that talks to the boinc interface and does the impressive cliamteprediuction graphics.

Is nice to see soemtimes how the process is going in graphics.

I have got some of the linux boinc viewers and they some of the windows gui interface.

All good things take time to improve, and you guys have a lot in the startup to control.

Not much in the way of graphics, I know, but I have a little BOINC progress app I wrote in Kylix. It works on systems where only a single CPU is crunching (but supports multiple projects on that CPU). Basically, it shows current progress for the project currently running. Screenshots and download are at http://www2.gol.com/users/trane/programming/programming.html

BOINCprog 1.1.1 is released. Now runs as a KDE or Gnome tray applet and displays the BOINC install dir as the window title to better support multi-system monitoring over NFS.

BOINCprog 1.1.2 has been released at Trane's Programming Page. This is a minor maintenance release that fixes segfaults for systems running the 2.6.8+ kernels compiled with the exec-shield patch (e.g., Red Hat Fedora Core 2).
