Hello all. I am going to switch from Win XP to Ubuntu Linux soon and I am of course going to keep running BOINC. My question pertains to all of my project work units, specifically Climateprediction and QMC. Both take long crunch times (climate being by far the longest... not due to report until 1/1/2008) and I don't wish to lose them. I know I can enable no new work for SETI, LHC and Einstein when the time comes, but what about the other two. Is there a way to migrate my work?? Thanks! Blake |

Climate files have a different file structure in Linux to that in Windows. It's one or the other. |

I suspect the most you can do is to back up your Windows' Boinc tree and restore it on Linux, then run BCC under Wine until the work units are finished. (Don't ask me details, I've never used Wine and have no idea, whether it is really possible tu run the command line subset under it. Someone more experienced might tell.) Peter |
