2) Here is the list of packages I install and remove with every new ubuntu 64 bit installation. You can just copy/paste the line, and it will install them all at once.
sudo apt-get install openssh-server+ gdebi+ libwxgtk2.8-0+ libXss1+ freeglut3+ gnome-applets+ cpufrequtils+ ia32-libs+
That includes everything you need to get BOINC to run, as well as the additional 32 bit libraries needed for the 32 bit apps.
