You'll have to translate that article for those of us who don't speak Swedish :)

Congratulations on your 10,000th work unit. What machines do you have running SETI?

That's a rather lengthy article , and I do not think babelfish does swedish just yet, so the translation will take some time. :-(

I'm running seti@home on 4 boxes right now:

1: P4@2.53Ghz Linux (Fedora)

2: AMD 2100+ Linux (Gentoo)

3: Amd 2500+(Barton) OC to 3200+ WinXP

4: Amd 2600+(Barton) OC to 3200++ Winxp

SKÅL !

It was a false alarm.

They did find some interesting signals, but didn’t know if they were noise or computing errors or not. The press blew it out of all proportion though.

Hehehe! Good one Davd_bob! I have never understood the fascination with running SETI. It means that you stress your system to the max for an extended period, making it draw more current than ever for what reason??

Hell, I'll compile kernels continuously before I run SETI. At least I can use the result of that :)

I guess I am setting myself up for being flamed :)
