I took at break from folding@Home to help out the Rosetta@Home team at overclockers.com jump up up the stats, in the worldwide competition.

On Debian and Debian derivatives it's pretty easy, most likley the BOINC client and manager are in the repos;

Code:
:~# apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager

and
Code:
:~# apt-get install boinc-client boinc-client

and you're ready to use the Boinc manager GUI to enter your project, e-amail/password and team information.

RPM based distros are more problematic, IMO due to having firewalld installed by default, and the need to create a symlink between /var/lib/boinc and the /home directory.

I found some useful information in the following thread, on fedoraforum.org:
