(moderation:
I want to tell you how easy it was to set up boinc on OpenBSD.
* The URL to compile your own Boinc client is here:

* The thread in the Community at seti@home links to the source code of SETI@home is found here:

* Proof of my OpenBSD 3.7-current computer chugging workunits is here:

* It's great as it is! But it could be better if I could do the same with the Einstein client.
