There is a new Distributed Computing project getting underway. Those of you who have been donating your idle computer time to projects such as Folding@Home or SETI@Home will be familiar with the idea. This time, the target is SARS, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure or vaccine. The client called D2OL was initially set up to examine childhood diseases but have since been converted to the SARS project. It is available for the Windows, Linux, Mac and Solaris platforms. The client can be downloaded from the D2OL site and you will also find a link to the D2OL forums. Sounds like a worthy project to me. Thanks to J.Cooper for the heads-up.
