If you get tired of looking for Martians with seti@home, why not donate some spare cpu cycles to SIMAP? It has small work units and minimal computing requirements (even a K6 clunker will do). Plus, Munich is a cool place and it's in Bavaria like Kanotix!

Details of the project are at http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/
Project stats at http://www.boincstats.com/stats/project_graph.php?pr=simap

--To get started the easy way--

Download the BOINC client:
apt-get install boinc-client

Download a handy GUI front-end:
apt-get install boinc-manager

Create an account:
http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap/create_account_form.php

Open the BOINC manager and attach to the project by entering the url:
http://boinc.bio.wzw.tum.de/boincsimap

That's all. You can close the manager and go about your business as usual, the daemon will run in the background.

To show off, BOINC counters for your signature can be found here:
