Hi,
I installed BOINC on my home server about a year ago.
I would like to install it on my desktop PC but to be enabled only as a screensaver.
This fature was not available a year ago and does not seem to be available yet.
Right? or is there a special distro i could use?
Thx
Franck

Could you not accomplish the same result by using preferences to not allow it to process while the PC is in use?
