lin-seti is a command-line program allowing the user to mantain a cache of work units for the Seti@Home client. It should run without any problem on unix-like systems, including linux.

It is designed to be fully compatible with SETI Driver (a similar software for Windows), so you can share the same cache on dual boot systems. Of course you can use it stand-alone, too.

Here are some key features of "lin seti":
It works
Can be installed system wide or inside a user's home directory
Can run as system daemon (so you don't need to be logged in)
Coexists nicely with other monitoring utilities like ksetispy or wmsetimon
Cache management compatible with SETI Driver for Windows
Multilanguage support (right now: English, Italian and German)
Autodetection of optimal optimization settings for your CPU
Autodetection of linux distribution for init script installation (right now: debian gentoo mandrake redhat slackware)
Also supported by wmpower to allow automatic stop/startup of Seti client when your machine switches to/from battery and AC power

What's New in This Release:
fixes a problem that made lin-seti crash when starting as daemon on system power up
updates lin-seti-status.sh script
Adds detection of AMD Athlon64 processors
