Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds like a worthwhile concept.

http://www.distributedcomputing.info/

I actually first read about distributed computing in the novel they mentioned on that site. T'was a good book!

No, but I should. folding@home seems to be the most popular and the most successful, they have instructions there on how to install it for your computer.
