DESCRIPTION

setiathome is the UNIX version of the SETI@home client.

See http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/ for more information.

PACKAGING NOTICE

This setiathome package is a binary distribution only. The package is structured to allow a binary drop-in upgrade. Please see the main seti page for binary updates, as older binaries will be refused at the server, and will not do any processing.
