Is there a DSL group working on any projects currently?

I have small Sempron PXE booting DSL farm looking for something constructive to do. (I currently do SETI/Boinc on my Windows machines).

Regards,
Jon.

I'm a 100% newbie to Linux not to mention DSL so bear with me.

I seem to be able to download BOINC okay, but I can't run it via the Run window.

I understand I need some kind of program installer?

Like I say, I'm 100% newbie, so bear with me. Any help appreciated on getting BOINC up and going here.

goto http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/

Click on the link to download BOINC ..

It should download this file, as of 11/11/2005
boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

once downloaded, open a shell, and change it's permissions.
chmod 777 boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Then run it to install it.
./boinc_5.2.7_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Once installed, change to the proper directory, and run the manager
cd BOINC
run_manager

Instructions to add any type of DC project to it can be found
at the websites that sponsor them..

The download went fine, the chmod line had no reply, but when I do the ./ boinc_(everything) it replies:

bash: ./: is a directory

Help appreciated...
