Distributed.net KickStarter is an application to help you get started with participating in the Distributed.net challenges. It provides a graphical front end for setting up the Distributed.net client (called dnetc) which otherwise only has a text-based interface and you have to resort to the Terminal to get at it. Distributed.net KickStarter also offers an easy way to have the Distributed.net client start each time you start your computer as well as a way to start the client right away (when you have made the required settings) as well as easy access to the online statistics of your contribution to the different Distributed.net projects. |
