The links and recommended versions on the BOINC download site for Linux are

Can links to the latest Linux released versions be added to the BOINC Download
site at
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php ??
Because of the differences between Linux distros,
the recommended way of installing BOINC is using a package manager.
However, we should offer our own installer, at least for testing purposes.
In the past our policy has been to offer a self-extracting archive installer
for the latest Ubuntu distribution.
Instructions for building this are here:

This hasn't been done since 7.4.22 (Sept. 2014) because no one has
volunteered for the role of "linux builder" as described here:

If someone would like to volunteer, let me know.
