This custom version of knoppix runs folding@home at startup in the background. There are scripts to view/start/stop/and configure it that make things very easy. There is also a script to run the windows version in wine. It has a ton of apps just like knoppix. And you don't need to have a hard drive. It has samba, ssh, and vnc for remote connectivity, to share files, to use electron micorscope to monitor folding.

It also has:
seti@home
prime-net
memtest
cpuburn
lucifer


So its great to burn-in a new box without having to install an OS. It can also be installed via the knxhddinstall script and so it is a quick and easy way to install debian.


In a future release I'm adding scripts to d/l and install F-prot into ramdisk or a persisntent /home. That will let you scan windows partitions for virii wihout having to boot into windows. I've almost got the feature to automatically to save WU's to a hdd or pen drive at intervals in case of power failure, but F@H locks the work folder...

Overclockix iso 686mb, no md5sum yet, sorry


With this cd you could make layers of a folding/seti/prime cluster for around $150.
