  === Benefits of Debian for BOINC ===
@@ -40, +40 @@

  Another peculiarity of Debian is the option to create dedicated chroot environments, which may be essential for security-sensitive administrators. Debian's [[Debootstrap|debootstrap]] tool creates such easily, also in subdirectories of other Linux distributions. Together with the dynamic package management, this renders Debian a prime candidate for the creation of virtual hosts arbitrary Linux distributions or - maybe more interestingly - on Windows machines running [[Xen]], coLinux, [[VirtualBox]] or [[VMware]].
  
  Furthermore, the frequently distributed [[LiveCD]]s of Debian may bring functional BOINC installations to the masses.

- === Once you decide to prepare your very own BOINC project... ===
- ... you demand too much from this effort that is aiming merely at packaging existing packages for Debian. The upstream official [[http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectMain|documentation to create a BOINC project]] (Especially the section creating a BOINC project) should be a first read and the BOINC [[http://boinc.berkeley.edu/email_lists.php|mailing lists]] and [[http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/|message boards]] will come to your assistance.
- 
- A `boinc-server-maker` package was prepared and there are also plans to upload it to Debian's experimental section. The package however can use some more help to further ease the entry level for creating one's own Debian-based BOINC project. Please consider to contact and join the [[http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-boinc-devel/|BOINC developers mailing list]] with respect to the server package and follow the [[BOINC/Server]]-dedicated page on this Wiki.
