Users have contributed scripts for automatic startup of BOINC on various versions of Unix:

• BOINC on Debian Linux.
• Linux with KDE.
• Red Hat 9, should also work on Solaris
• Gentoo Linux (from Gabor Nagy)
• HPUX (mostly relevant to UNIX in general)
• An init script for running BOINC under SuSE Linux (9.2 and 9.3)
