Welcome to our team aubie88! aubie88 has been an EINSTEIN@HOME contributor since 2005 and it looks like the computers have been crunching for other projects since 2001 From Ubuntu to FreeBSD, both great server and desktop environments.
I should provide a little background about the servers this site is hosted on.. We are using Redhat Enterprise, Ubuntu Server, and of course FreeBSD. Ubuntu server provides web related services only. It uses lighttpd (Lighty) as a web server and fast-cgi utilizing PHP and PERL amongst many other interesting light and fast technologies to serve you this post.
The FreeBSD server does almost everything else: SQL, SMTP, IMAP amongst many other external organization providers.
The data server has 12 Tier 1 Fibre channels on separate gateways. The data center has 2 weeks of diesel backup and 4 days of battery backup, state of the art cooling and fire suppression systems, a complete full time physical security team, and all access to the data center rooms and equipment use biometric entry.
This page is provided with a 100 mbit unregulated interface.
That's enough of my internals.. ;) What about you (post a comment and let us know you are amongst the living)?

The Einstein@Home project is starting limited public testing of a new pulsar search, which uses PALFA radio data from the Arecibo radio telescope. More information about this search will be released in the coming weeks. Message board threads have been started for scientific information about the search and for problems and bug reports concerning the new application. We will post another front page news item when we formally launch this new search on a larger scale.
You bet, this will use radio technology. Here is a PDF in which it contains more information for this method: JDeneva.pdf. - [Gerry Rough]
