Ok, we all know by now that distributed.net has solved the rc5 challenge. What you may not realize is that Team BeOS has quite a number of OTHER challenges on the go!

The one I'm most interested in reporting about is the Distributed Folding Challenge, which is quietly propelling Team BeOS up through the ranks at breakneck speed. This is where you can help. By joining the team, and using your idle CPU cycles just like you did for Distributed.net, you can not only help BeOS get more recognition, but help deal with a pretty serious science experiment as well.

The outcome of the science experiment will go a long ways to helping many scientific fields, from the fight against cancer, to diabetes, to old age. Read all about the Science of Protein Folding to know more. So, do your fellow BeOS Community members a huge favor, have pride in knowing that you are helping humanity, and join today!

First, start by downloading the client. Next, read online on how to install and use the client properly. If all else fails, check in with other team members using BeShare or Ozone and ask for more detailed help.

Good luck!
