I have been a long time user of BOINC on Linux platforms.
I have recently encountered several problems with my current distributions:
CentOS 6 - seems unable to the BOINC Manager GUI (version 7.0.x).
Ubuntu 12.10 - seems unable to run Nvidia GPU driver and has twice come to an unusable GUI manager.

I'd like to be able to run my two machines with the Nvidia GPU drivers,
and a simple to install version of BOINC supporting GPU processing.

Can anyone suggest a distribution where these two goals can be easily accomplished. Thanks!

CentOS 6 - seems unable to the BOINC Manager GUI (version 7.0.x).

What kind of error do you get? Libraries missing?

Ubuntu 12.10 - seems unable to run Nvidia GPU driver and has twice come to an unusable GUI manager.

BOINC was built on the current Ubuntu. Any problems you have with the distro, may be something you want to tell the distro.
But again, what errors do you get, or else describe the behaviour in full.
And for which BOINC version specifically? (7.0.x is too generic, we're coming up to 7.0.37 on test release soon)

Centos 6 problem appear to be multiple libraries missing.
Most recent was a version `GLIBC_2.14' not found involving
/libc.so.6

Ubuntu issue have been GUI and nVidia graphics support related.
Reported issues there as well. Key issue appears to be that
more recent releases have disabled by GUI and same release seems
to be preventing me from running nvidia driver. Recently had
upgraded to 12.10 and gave it 3-4 days of work (after job) and
could not correct or find solution from other sources.

I'll forward your problems to the development team, they always want to know.

In the mean time, can you upgrade CentOS6 to the latest libraries? (I seem to remember, it cannot)
And on Ubuntu, by GUI, you mean an interface of Ubuntu, or the BOINC Manager interface?
