Rob,
Here are the lines that I have in my /etc/apt/sources.list that
point to the boinc software, I used these lines and ran apt-get
update, installed Boinc Manager <used Adept, because I wanted to
browse and see what was available for Boinc>. On the Desktop menu
Boinc appears either under "Utilities" or "Science & Math"
Once installed, the first time I opened it, I was asked for the
appropriate project information... and went on from there.
deb http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu breezy universe
deb-src http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu breezy universe
Kubuntu is running on a P3-300MHz system here, so I'm not overloading
Boinc. I only assigned that machine to a single project.
Good luck,
Eric
