The Linux server (Doofus) here on hrpr.com's local network has been contributing spare CPU cycles to the SETI@Home Project since March 2003. Since then Doofus has been faithfully processing signal analysis tasks 24 x 7. Who knows, maybe one of these days SETI@Home will assign a task to Doofus that decodes to "ET Phone Home."
