Another week, another burst of new folders. The most important stat of all that we talk about is this:

The more protiens that we fold, the more likely we are to help find a cure for the ailments that cripple and kill us.

Good job everyone!

Laundry bump out to the Folding@Home ping list!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off the list.

Have a terrific week.

Thanks for the stats summary in your post... it's amazing how far this team has moved in such a short time.

I have one more machine that I might be able to use but I'm fighting some network issues right now. Plus, after taking two weeks vacation at the end of December, I'm now back at my day job.

Ya think we'll ever find the mis-folded protein that causes liberalism?

Fold On Bump.

The above computerese is Greek to me. Can anyone explain it in English?

Regarding our drop in production, I wonder if a lot of folders might not be turning off their computers.

Here's something that's affected my statistics. For some reason, FAH opts to send my not-so-powerful home PC 400-frame workunits. The first one took nearly two weeks--but it finally gave me a burst of 239 pts. [I did turn it off a few times and also lost a night's work when my PC froze for reasons unknown to me.] Now FAH has sent me a new 400-framer, which will cause my PC-processor to have no points for about 10 days. So, it seems like I'm not producing.

On the other hand, FAH sends my G4 laptop 100-frame WU's that are only worth between 50 and 100 pts. that finish faster. I'd have thought my laptop would get the high-pt. value WUs and my PC would get the smaller pt. value. Whatever.

Home from vacation and back folding! Of course, I've only got the one CPU, so I'm kinda down the list, but I'm folding my little heart out...

Hiya Tex.

I have a few really old systems (286, 486, P-II, P-III, P-IV, AMD Athlon) that I might crank up if I can get them configured correctly. I don't want to use Windows because they can't run XP. On the one of them, I plan to run Win 2K as a server (unless I can figure how to set up a server in Linux), and I'd like to use Linux on the others.

The problem is that when I played around with Linux a few years ago, I couldn't find drivers for all the old stuff - lic nic & video cards and don't have time to find them all now (that's why I never really got into Linux).

So, my question to you (and any Penquins out there) is this: What is the latest greatest flavor of Linux (Red Hat, etc) that can recognize and auto load drivers? What simple applications or Lindows will that OS run? Are there any auto scripts available to install? What firewalls and antivirus programs are available for Linux (especially the recommended flavor)?

Oh, yeah - I really don't want to subscribe to any version (like Red Hat requires) - I prefer freeware or shareware (no cost or one time fee).

I don't really have a lot of time to relearn it all, lol, and I don't want to use Win 95 or 98 because of security. (I will network these on a separate node from my everyday systems.)

Thanks for any info that you or anyone else can provide. (Keep in mind that this is a spare time project which may take weeks to complete.)

Never had a million stepper before. This should be interesting.

I downloaded the software and started running it last weekend but I have only gotten about 40% through the 1st WU. Does that sound right?

I guess I should say I have it running on an old 533mhz machine.

NVA's first work unit finally completed. Stats don't show up yet but I'm pleased to see the Tribute to RR graphic up at the team's page. At 30+ minutes per frame I don't think I'll be setting any records.

This is an invite to join the team.

Hey, Tex...I had a 182-pointer that finished yesterday...and it's still not showing up in my stats. The first three I did showed up right away.

Is there something I should do?

My display screen shows "Finished WUs: 4" but the team stats only show me at 3.

Pls advise. Thanks!!

[houeto]

BTTT!

Hey woman, why don't you fire up a cig and come on over to help us fold!

Everyone keep a heads up, Klutz is about to hit the 100,000 point mark tonight, probably at the 9:00 update. Please be sure to congratulate and thank him for his efforts.
