Updating to latest Boinc on Berkely site, Linux

[PoppaGeek]

Someone asked for a list of all the files the boinc_X.X.X.deb file installs. I am looking to see how hard it is to build debian/Ubuntu packages and here is the list of files installed by apt-get:

/.

Good reason to install the debian package first then update via Berkely download.

It also checks dependencies, sets environment varibles and scheduling/startup scripts.
