Sun recently announced that they are helping out with boinc, the new seti@home client, so I started to take a bit more interest (anything I can write off as work is good!) :-)
The boinc client is quite a bit different than the seti client, but as reached beta testing standard so if you feel inclined to test it go to
boinc.berkeley.edu/
to read about the project in general and to download the software and get useful instructions go to
setiboinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/ap/
