It says the host is still running the stock application.
The project is about to go into its weekly downtime, but after it is back up, go to the Top Computers list from the home page, look for a host running Linux and check some of that host's results to see what the optimized app puts in. It is actually quite similar to what a Windows optimized app has:
Optimized SETI@Home Enhanced application
Optimizers: Ben Herndon, Josef Segur, Alex Kan, Simon Zadra

My way is to download the Linux version of BOINC from the BOINC download page. Move the file you download into the home folder. Go to Accessories, open a terminal and type into it
sh boinc*
Then type
cd BOINC
./run_client
open another terminal (if you open one in a tab, it will already be in the BOINC directory) and type
./run_manager
Then you will have the gui, which works like the one in windows and you can attach to Seti.
I let it download a work unit or two and set it to no new work. After the first two are done, then I report them and stop boinc by going back to the first terminal and typing
CTRL C
I close that terminal out and stop the boinc manager too. I download my optimized app. With your AMD, you want a generic sse2 linux app, 32 bit if you are using 32 bit linux. If you are not, you will have other issues, but I can help you with those.
Go to the projects folder in your BOINC folder and remove the Seti app there. Extract the optimized app and it's app info xml either into it's own folder and copy it into the project folder or extract it directly into the project folder, ARK is pretty easy to figure out.
When you start BOINC up again in the terminal the way you did before, then you should be crunching with the optimized app.
A lot of guys like the BOINC with Synaptic Package manager, but I don't. I like to run BOINC from the home folder. Hope this helps and welcome to Linux and Optimized Seti.

Hello Pam:
I am ( now ) running 64 bit ubuntu and cannot for the life of me
get an optimized application to run. Any suggestions ?

Not long ago when I last set up Ubuntu on my new AMD laptop, I could not get the 64 bit 5.10.28 BOINC to run anything. It would say the work unit was suspended, even though I had not set BOINC to suspend anything. I couldn't find anywhere anyone else experiencing this problem, but I fixed it by switching to Crunch3r's 64 bit 6.1 BOINC client. Let me hunt down the link for that...

I changed the name of the file from boinc-client to boinc and dropped it into my boinc folder and everything was cool. I've been using this on all my 64 bit Linux boxes.
