I'd like to draw people's attention to the point that there is no guarantee that test WU from Ralph will not affect other projects. This means there is a small risk that ongoing work for another project might get toasted.

For most projects that would be mildly irritating - a day's work or so lost. For CPDN that would be very annoying. My suggestion is to only let Ralph run on a CPDN box if the CPDN result has not yet reached say its fourth trickle, so that not too much time would be lost. Then take that box off Ralph for a long while, till the next CPDN WU starts.

Alternatiely, if you ignore the above, do do do please make sure you backup the boinc directory regularly so that if Ralph fries the CPDN stuff you can roll back.

Or, of course, don't run the Ralph on the same box as CPDN at all -- but that would be a pity, it wouyld be nice if there was at least some interworking.

Once again, this is a private view from me as an individual participant - it is not official advice from either Ralph or from CPDN.
