I'm still running SETI@home on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - 64bit.
After resolving my ISP issues that only affect the SETI@home Boinc client (by switching ISPs), I'm interesting in processing workunits on the GPU.
What are the first steps that are recommend? I was processing GPU workunits before, but I reinstalled so many times trying to fix the ISP problem that I don't think I have any optimized clients left...
Shall I jump right into BOINC 7 - install an optimized client (is that even necessary?)
===== details on my current setup =====
