We need a new Folding@Home FAQ

[jimthorn]

The current sticky FAQ for Folding@Home has been a useful post to keep around, but it has become a bit stale since it was first posted in 2003. Some things are obviously missing (since it was written in 2003), such as SMP client setup and the Intel-based Macs in general. A lot of new Mac users are likely to find the console version to be somewhat intimidating without a little guidance. Setup and use of InCrease might be helpful too. Also, the MacNN stats page hasn't been updated for any teams other than their own since mid-2006.

These are just a few friendly suggestions. :) I often hit the MacRumors forums when I'm trying to learn something Mac-related, so I figure lots of others do too. And helping users, especially Mac newbies, would help boost stats for the team.

[Doctor Q]

How does the Folding at Home FAQ Guide page compare with the Folding@Home FAQ thread?

Any member can update the Guide to bring it up to date. You can add any missing information and/or copy from the thread.

We can and should put a link to the Folding Guide page at the top of this forum, particularly if it's up to date.

Nice! I didn't even know that guide was there. That's even better!

That's a great idea.
