William:
Just downloaded and installed boinc. I keep getting the error message "BOINC Manager is not able to connect to a BOINC client. Would you like to try to connect again?"
Could it be a SElinux problem? There are no SELinux trouble shooter warnings.
My FC5, FC6, and (now) F7 machines have been crunching BOINC for 1.5 years - no issues that I know of. Then again, I installed it as a user, to ~.
Try running the client: cd <BOINC dir> nice ./boinc >/dev/null & Then the manager: nice ./boincmgr >/dev/null &
