SETI going home

The SETI@home project announced that they are closing down their original system and merging with Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC). Slashdotters discuss.

I've had SETI@home installed on my various machines for quite some time, but I'm not sure if I'll follow to the new BOINC software: there have been some reports that it's more than a bit finicky to set up and get running.

Hat tip to Jon for the original email.
