I am a student at a local college. I have walked around my school campus and noticed at least 800 + computers on 24/7. I want to know is there information on installing F@H on school computers? All i know is my school computers run windows xp using various hardware. I need information i can present to the IT people to justify this and how easy it would be. Can F@H run at a network login screen?

I'll answer the easy one. Yes, F@h can run while sitting at a login screen. Install the client as a service, and it runs whenever the computer runs.
Here is a thread to help answer some the questions you will get.

There are several more threads like this on the forum, you might try a search.
And there are hundreds of teams with "University" and "College" in the team name, so you could print up a list of those to show your school that other schools run fah too.

Don't forget the less-than-24/7 but often-used personal computers that almost every college student has. Via the Computer Science Dept, computer club, newspaper articles, etc, you may be able to get a bunch of them Folding, too!
