In the top menu of the BOINCmgr... "Advanced --> Select Computer" you get a "Host name" box which if you have used has a drop down menu of prior entries. Very handy, thank you. I've searched high and low and can NOT find where that list of previously entered (remote) hostnames is stored. I want to edit out some bad entries that look almost like a couple of the entries I access daily. In a Debian world I would've expected it to be in /etc/boinc-client but I don't find it there or in /var/lib/boinc-client. Any ideas?

You find them in the (hidden) file ~/".BOINC Manager" in the section '[ComputerMRU]'.

example line:
0=www.example.com

Hate to nit pick but it's not in /home it's in ~/ which is short for /home/<username>/.

Grrr... I'm an idiot. I can only claim sleep deprivation and a bunch of unruly, rude 7 year olds at work.
