Other platforms

If your computer is not of one of these types, you can

make your own client software or
download executables from a third-party site (available for Solaris/Opteron, Linux/Opteron, Linux/PPC, HP-UX, and FreeBSD, and others).

Linux info

The current release is known to work with these Linux versions:

Fedora Core 7 and 8
Debian 4.1
Ubuntu 7.10

For other Linux versions, check if a BOINC package is offered by your Linux distribution.

Fedora 7 and higher: type
```
yum install boinc-client boinc-manager
```
as root.
Debian and Ubuntu: package names boinc-client, boinc-manager (more info here). Also boinc-dev (for project developers).
Gentoo: package name sci-misc/boinc

Alternatively, download the BOINC client for older Linux versions. This doesn't have a graphical interface, but it should work on all Linux systems, both x86 and x64.
