The BOINC client software should work on:
<ul>
<li> Most x64 based distros.
</ul>
<p>
Note: 32-bit binaries don't just work on every 64-bit Linux.
<p>
If for example you install a fresh Ubuntu 6.10 or 7.04, 32-bit binaries won't work.
They are not even recognized as valid executables. You first have to install the ia32
package and dependent packages.
<p>
Further, for programs that link with the graphic library, you will manually have to
copy a 32-bit libglut library to the usr/lib32 directory. If after this they still get
client errors, tell them to find your exe in the projects directory and run ldd to
see what libraries are missing.
