Ubuntu Team and other distributed computing people... Why don't you use Seti@home. I was search on the forums and found that you all claim SETI is almost finish with their search. Your wrong. SETI is setting up a new array of receivers called the Allen Array.

I dont think SETI is going away anytime soon.
I stayed glued to the Science Channel when I am not on my PC and as far as I can tell they are almost done setting up the new array of smaller dishes to form a much larger radio dish and also use it in conjunction with the existing dish to give us much larger listening area and much stronger radio reception.

Is there any SETI software in the repositories?

Cheers,
Joey

ET was a movie, and ill leave it at that. every time i read about this SETI think i think about how much more of a sham it is (to me, i dont believe in any of that stuff).

Something I heard a while back. I think its a quote from Author C. Clark.
"Discorvering if we are alone or not in the universe has yet to be seen. Both of wich though are horrific."
Do I personaly think that there are other races out there in the universe? I am sure there is, but the universe is so expance the chances of us ever comming into contact with each other is so small it may never happen. I honestly think we will never make it off this rock before another major catastrophy accurs whiping out the human race.
Cheers,

The fact is, our solar system is only one of many galaxies in the universe. We have only begun to scratch the surface in terms of space exploration. I find it hard to believe that there is no other form of life (intelligent or not) in existence elsewhere. On a side note, man nasa has some cool images http://hubblesite.org/
