Same general principles apply, but I do not believe that Linux has any directories that are as thoroughly locked down as some of the Windows directories.

You can't change this. If you want to move the data path to someplace else: 1) Stop BOINC 2) Move the entire directory tree of <data_dir_path> to the new location (and it must NOT be a windows protected directory such as "Program Files" 3) Re-install BOINC (or hand edit the config files and possibly registry, if you are that brave).
