FAH integrated into FreeNAS

I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate folding at home into FreeNAS as I am about to migrate my files into a new FreeNAS box it will be running 24/7 with 2 Quad core Xeons and 20GB of RAM and that is severely underused as there is only myself using it, mainly for nightly backups on my laptop and random mass storage that is accessed once or twice a day

 

Thanks

but... why 2x xeons in a freenas build?

 

anyways, IIRC freenas has "jails" which is basicly like a half and half VM you can run other linux distros in, you could maybe set up a folding system in that.

Because I have a motherboard that is laying around that would be perfect for a FreeNAS and I have the Xeons laying around, and as its LGA 771 and DDR2 ECC it is EXTREMELY cheap to upgrade I got 16GB of ram for $20
