SETI@home

SETI@home is a program which utilises your computer's spare cycles to aid in the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence (SETI). It consists of a screensaver to run the program when it knows that you're not using the computer, or it can always run as a background task (this uses about 15MB of RAM and whatever processor power you're not using with other tasks, recommended for faster computers).

There are clients for Windows 9x/NT, Linux/UNIX, and the Macintosh. You can sign up at their main site, http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/. If you do, I would ask you to help out my favourite group, the LinuxNewbie.org SETI Blackbelts.
