If you are running 32 bit Linux

http://calbe.dw70.de/2.4V/2.4L_x32_SSE3.tar.bz2

For 64 bit

http://calbe.dw70.de/2.4V/2.4L_x64_SSE3.tar.bz2

Remember that you will need 64 bit version of BOINC as well if you are running 64 bit Linux & want to do same w/ the Seti aps.

http://calbe.dw70.de/boinc/boinc_6.1.0_x86_64_linux_v2.tar.bz2

Hope this helps.

Hello Gecko,

How do I find out which version of Linux I am running. ie either 32 bit or 64 bit?

I'm not a Linux user, but I'll try to help you.
You have a 64 bit compatible processor so a 64 bit version "should" have been installed...but maybe not as 32 bit has better compatibility w/ hardware & aps ATM.

Open a terminal and type: uname -a
if you see something like x86_64 GNU/Linux, it's _64.  If it ends w/ something like i686 GNU/Linux, then it's _32
Sorry, I can't be a 100% on the easiest way to tell but this way should answer it.

Maybe Pam or another can jump-in here and clarify....

Gecko knows what he is talking about but also when you go to the BOINC page to download BOINC, if you have 64 bit Linux, it will pick 64 bit BOINC for you.
