OK, here's how it's done. Fire up a terminal window - xterm, konsole, whatever.
What port you use depends on the versions of the core client. 4.19 and earlier use port 31416. The 4.5x, 4.6x (and maybe the recent 4.20?) use a different port 1043. Since I have 4.19, I use port 31416. This is what it looks like:
telnet localhost 31416 --I entered this
Trying 127.0.0.1... --
Connected to localhost. -- System responded with this (3 lines)
Escape character is '^]'. --
--I entered this.
--System responded. Graphics appeared
^] --control right bracket to get telnet prompt
telnet> quit --enter quit to end telnet session
Connection closed.
That was it. You do neet the telnet service enabled on your linux box. Mine was not by default. My router keeps it blocked from the Internet.
Hope this helps.

OK, way cute!
But they always want more:
- what's the command to turn OFF this graphics window (without shutting down E@h) ?
- Is there a way to turn off the automatic rotation ? (I'm getting sphere-sick watching it move!)

The keyboard commands are working in a test version of the code but are not yet in the production version of the code.

1. simply close the graphics window. Works for me.
Maybe it will a good idear, that Users who have the graphics will test them and report any problems with the graphics.
Duds that is development here and we are here to test the new Apps and things from the project, so please test the new graphics for errors and make a report, without such tests the LINUX version will never have a graphic interface ! ;-)
Ok i also prefer the commandline Version, but ... you know ;-)
I have never seen any graphic on my LINUX box ! What a shame! :-(

I just got the graphics for OS X using the directions below. Very cool, definitely seems a lot more cpu intensive than SETI (at least the old version). Anyone able to tell me about CPU terminology? What I mean is in my activity monitor for cpu I see %user, %system, %nice and %idle. I can guess at idle and user, but what is nice? I see that is primarily what boinc is using.
The graphics shouldn't be CPU intensive, as they are mainly done by the graphics card, not the CPU.
You can assign priority levels to processes so that some are executed when there's nothing else to do. These processes are "nice" in the sense that they step back when there is more urgent work to do. %nice is the amount of time the CPU spends with such processes.
Maybe intensive was the wrong word. My cpu monitor is pretty much topped out, but it is all blue (nice). It seems to have very little or no impact on system performance. I've had it going all day and haven't noticed any slowdown for normal activities. Einstein is processing pretty slow, but then I'm only on a 1GHz G4. If nothing else it sure makes it look like I'm doing something really important.

On my dual PIII 550 running Linux it just does 2 WU's at the same time ;).
