So anyone know a version of BOINC that can be used with an account manager that works well with a squid proxy server for a linux box?

Yup.
Don't want to raise your hopes too much... while it works for me and I'm using squid, I'm not doing proxy auth. I use IP addresses for basic access control.

What's the address you downloaded these version from?

Not sure I follow...
In one location I'm using squid version 2.6.STABLE5 downloaded from the ubuntu repositories, not sure about the other but likely an even older version, though probably still a 2.6 one.

Latest releases at Squid Versions are 2.6.STABLE20 and 3.5.STABLE5

FWIW, I'm reading up on implementing some basic proxy auth to see how my existing BOINC versions will fare with it...if at all.

If I understand your problem correctly, even something as simple as basic auth does not work for you. Is that correct? Also, are you able to indicate which authentication scheme you are using? If you are not comfortable disclosing that, it is ok, but it may help me to emulate your problem more closely.

Well that wasn't too difficult.
I configured squid for basic proxy auth using ncsa_auth.
It works with BOINC 5.10.30 for windows and 5.10.8 for linux.
Now I guess I need to get 5.10.45 and see what's amiss there.

You can download ubuntu 7.10 from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.10/release/

Once you have installed ubuntu, to install BOINC simply do:
sudo aptitude install boinc-client

in a terminal.

Just 1 slightly off topic question, please... Does sudo aptitude install boinc-manager install the manager? Or maybe it's boinc-mgr rather than boinc-manager?

No, definitly boinc-manager. IIRC either invocation will install both the client and the manager due to dependencies.

[edit]
No, I was wrong. Installing client does not install manager automatically, but installing manager will also install client.
