Seeing as you've all been doing so well I thought I'd see how it goes on a few of my boxen. I've not bothered running any distributed stuff since dnetc 3 or 4 years back.

I'm using Linux emulation on OpenBSD (3.8-stable and -current) to run the FAH Linux console binary in screen sessions at the moment but if they stay stable enough (I've not used emul before so don't know how it'll hold up) and don't intrude too much I might look at starting from boot through rc.local.

Specs of the boxen, cos we all like Specs...

My NFS Server, an old Dell XPS M200:

hw.model=Intel Pentium/MMX ("GenuineIntel" 586-class)

hw.cpuspeed=199

hw.physmem=66691072

My WWW/Mail Server, a Via Mini-ITX thing:

hw.model=VIA Ezra ("CentaurHauls" 686-class)

hw.cpuspeed=800

hw.physmem=265920512

My Lappie, Dell Lat C610:

hw.model=Intel® Pentium® III Mobile CPU 1000MHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)

hw.cpuspeed=997

hw.physmem=536330240

My Deskie, a P4 "bitsa":

hw.model=Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.40GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class)

hw.cpuspeed=2394

hw.physmem=535601152

While I don't expect to be breaking any records as they're running OpenBSD they do normally sit at 98+% idle 98+% of the time and are up 24 hours, day in day out

I started them folding around lunchtime yesterday and so far the Deskie is about 85% into it's second full WU having dropped an earlier one about halfway through, the Lappie is nearly half way through it's first. The other two are just way to sad to mention

Think I'll hold off on the sig img till it's worth seeing :P

Nice one the more the merrier !

Welcome to the team!

Nice one! Just seen your name crop up at the bottom of the table as a scoring member.

welcome aboard

looks like someone else I'm gonna have to watch my back for!!

If you have any problems running it from rc.local (signal handling, redirecting STDIO, etc.) I have a simple C wrap-around which runs it as a daemon. It works OK on Linux, so it should do the trick on OpenBSD as well.
