Integrate BOINC distributed computing platform into Ubuntu

Registered by Ezequiel Martín Cámara

BOINC is a distributed computing platform that allows you to share your unused cycles. SETI@home is now run over BOINC, as are other medical and metereological research projects. Integrating it into Ubuntu so it is easy to register and control might bring a good amount of resources to this projects. It will be worth it just for the publicity. ¿But what if the network can be configured so that the users can choose to donate the cycles specifically to Ubuntu, and then Ubuntu can sell that processing power to paying customers, and then finance open source projects (OpenSSH)? ¿Is not that a way for Ubuntu users to give back to the community? Just an idea...
