It's easiest to install and run it through it's original program first, and you can switch to Boinc later if you'd like.
Read about the project here. It's been running for about a year, so it's fairly new, but old enough to have most of the kinks worked out.
You can run Human Proteome, and/or Fight Aids @Home.
I believe there may be another project added in the near future (Africa @ Home). You can choose to any or all.

Download the program, and someone will need to start a team for AOA, if we choose this project.
We can then request to have our team added to the stats at Free-DC.
I'm 3% into the first WU. LP you realize I'm counting on you to be our Team captain...yes?

If I did this, I would be dragged from my house and shot at dawn! (one thing to defect, altogether another to lead the insurrection! ":O}

My greatest asset to you besides the one box I have running (all I can afford right now) is that you can point out I was up and running in 15 minutes, everyone will take from that just how easy it is to setup and run this fascinating new project for mankind.

I would of course appreciate it if we could fit AOA Forums into out team title ":O}

So would you like to set this up for us and post to members how to join our Team?

Mean while I'll set us up with a topic and try to convince the faithful that this doesn't mean we don't love F@H anymore. ":O}

Once I get it up I'll copy your post over to it as our starter post in the new topic. Thank you LP, this should be quite a bit of fun!
