SETI@Home FAQ
From Unofficial BOINC Wiki
Welcome to the SETI@Home Frequently Asked Questions (also known as F.A.Q. or FAQ)! In here we hope that you will find answers to some of the questions that you might have. The material in this FAQ is going to be oriented towards only those subjects that are strictly related to the SETI@Home Project as it relates to BOINC. Items that are better covered in other places will not be explained here. We will try to put your feet on the right road however.
We suggest that you read the BOINC FAQ first, and then read the FAQ for the BOINC Powered Project that you intend to join. Though we are trying for complete coverage, there are things that are discussed in those other places there that may not be covered in this FAQ.
If you cannot find your question on this page (or any other page for that matter), please submit it to me, Chris Malton (call me Chris), and I will try to add your question to the appropriate section.
