Folding@home

uhh, why should they donate to FreeBSD? The point is that you donate some computing power to them for scientific advancement ...

There is a Einstein@Home FreeBSD team ...
 
There is a FreeBSD team for Folding@home too.
And they seem to be quite active.

I have just started my PS3 which has been collecting dust for over an year. Winter is coming and I could use the extra heating :D. It will be on 24/7 pretty much.

I was surprised to find right now there are only 3 other active contributors in Team FreeBSD (11743). We are not that far behind, let's get some more members back into folding. I am also going to start this fried nvs 140m t61 mobo to fold until it's completely gone (it only works on external monitor).

Right now f@h with the many-point awarding SMP is available for Windows and GNU/Linux 64bit and the GPU is for Windows. There are still ways to get it running, however, more info in the threads below:

Go Team FreeBSD :beergrin
 
I'll test and consider folding@home when there is a native client in ports (I'll settle for one that works with the Linuxulator). And it has to work with 64-bit FreeBSD; I have no 32-bit machines left.
