I am new to XandROS but have used a few other Linux based OS's. Have tried Mandrake, Linspire, Ubuntu, and others and ran seti on several, but that was before seti started BOINC...
Is there a seti app that will run on Xandros ?
Not real familiar with Xandros yet... so Im not sure what to look for ..
Any help or direction is appreciated.

Is there a BOINC or seti app that will run on Xandros ?
Not real familiar with Xandros yet... so Im not sure what to look for ..as far as which BOINC and
seti distro..
Any help or direction is appreciated.
Also is there a good site with a step by step for Linux Nebs like me to get it up and running.?

Check out Seti at home help desk at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_help_desk.php. The unix/linux section has quite a few details, hints and tips.
In short, the directions are quite straightforward.
Download boinc_5.4.9_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh from boinc.berkeley.edu.
You have to do the following commands via a command line. Open a terminal and run
cd Desktop
./boinc_5.4.9_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
If it doesn't run (smth like permissions denied error), run
chmod +x boinc_5.4.9_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
./boinc_5.4.9_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
It will print the instructions on screen.
Just in case, the following instructions are something like
cd BOINC
./run_client &
./run_manager &
