the program will ask you if you have an account or want to start one the first
time you run it. I understand that you have to have the text version running
and then start the X version in order to get it to work but don't quote me on
that since I haven't tried to make it go in linux yet.
Good luck and please keep me updated on how this works for you. I'd really
like to get SETI running on my linux partition I've just been too busy with
trying to figure out why only root can listen to cds on my machine ;-)
