Description:
FahMon is an open-source tool (GPL license) that allows you to quickly check the progress of your Folding@Home client (or clients if you have multiple ones), avoiding you having to open different files and/or to go to the Internet (for example to know how much your current work unit is worth).

FahMon is entirely coded in C++ and uses the wxWidgets library, which allows FahMon to exist both for Linux, Windows and OS X. It is designed to be really easy to use, and you should thus not encounter any major problem.

I proposed a Jaunty package to REVU, but worthwhile, you can download it for Intrepid from my ppa:

Is there a .deb I should be testing?

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Try the ones on my PPA, they're exactly the same.

Intrepid/i386 works quite well, thank you!

[Arnaud Soyez (weboide)]

Well, thank you for trying it out :)

[Brett Alton (brett-alton-deactivatedaccount)]

2.3.4-0ubuntu1~ppa0 works in Jaunty (2009-03-13) as well!

I've succesfully built fahmon version 2.3.99.1 for jaunty.
You can find it on my PPA:

Since this is my very first build I'd really appreciate some feedback.

This is now archived in REVU.
Anybody, feel free to take over the package, there is a new upstream version.
I don't have the time to clean up and update the package in REVU.
