Looks like FightingAIDS@home is now active on WGC BOINC - for Windows at least, I don't know about Linux.

One of my PCs has picked up a FAAH WU - estimated completion time is over 2.5 days though (2.8GHz P4) but this might be an over-estimation.

The WGC forums confirm that others are getting WUs too.

Indeed. I have a few winders boxen on FA@H/WCG with the BOINC client.

What I'm wondering is if there's a topic, post or doc somewhere that will help me specify only fightAIDS@home work units for the linux version of the BOINC/WCG client. Anybody?

It appears to be using different software/clients...

You can change this on the WGC website, but only for all clients. I don't think you can change things for different profiles.

It can do, there's two clients: the native WGC client (much like the old UD client) or a BOINC client.
