Hi Derick This link was blank when I launched it http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/List_of_projects_by_system_requirements/
I found a older client that does run (it installs using TAR and CHMOD cmds). Not very meaningful without the GUI. boinc_client gets installed but the GUI does not. When I call boinc_client all I can do is watch it create xml , projects and slots directories, and see the process taking CPU on the resource monitor. Looks like I am stuck withou a GUI unless I can find the source to boinc_manager. the link below gives me a failed redirection page in german. http://www.dotsch.de/boinc/BOINC%20Clients.html/ Fehler 404 Seite nicht gefunden Thanks for the assist. I will keep trying to find source for boinc_manager on the PPC Linux, then return for more help (punishment :) ) to test soluions.
