After registration, when you go to download the client of WCG. You have 4 options available.
1. United Device
2. Linux
3. Mac
4. BOINC for windows.
For windows i recommend you select the BOINC client as it is much more configurable.
After that is done. Visit the team url at World Community Grid - Team and join Team Techenclave.
Configuring BOINC client for windows
I can only with this regard as windows is the only primary OS i am using for WCG.
The BOINC WCG client looks like this.
There are 4 options. Message, Snooze, Preferences, Advanced view.
Messages: shows the log and warning messages
Snooze: Pauses the client. You can use it whenever you want the client to stop using your processor power without closing it.
Preferences: Customization
Advanced View : For more options.
Preferences: This will allow you to schedule the WCG client. You can set fixed time when it will use your CPU cycles for processing, when to access internet and how much CPU power you want WCG client to use.
Just make sure you assign 10GB space to WCG client for optimal results.
Advanced view has lots of extra options and configurations and also stats.
I suggest you leave options here as they are. Use it to see stats.
If you choose to close the client it minimizes to System tray
BOINC client for Linux

There is no issue. I just set up my ubuntu machine for this without any issue. The software has some display issues but that could also be due to it being a pure debian product rather than tweaked to ubuntu perfection. The info. you provided is not enough. Which flavor/distro. of linux you use, redhat, slackware, gentoo as each thing is different. The boinc client is nothing much than a shell script. You just have to run it :-
That's about it. If you have ncurses installed then you should be able to run the boinc manager too. I have X windows on the machine here so can't say for sure. As always your mileage may vary.
A more detailed guide for WCG will follow soon. This should be enough to get you started.
Daily download is just few MBs. When you install client for first time, it will download 2-3 MBs but after that daily download is very little. It wont affect your bandwidth much.
Important Notice: Please do not be under impression this hinders your cpu performance. You can always pause it whenever you want. And it also runs in minimum priority mode. So even if you allot 100% cpu to the client, it will not hinder your rregular DVD/video playback or music playback, browsing etc. So please Join and give some part of your processing power twords good cause

Running BOINC on Linux
There are currently two ways to run World Community Grid in Linux: via the Command Line and through the BOINC Manager. The directions below describe the command line installation as many Linux users will use this method. For help installing via the BOINC Manager, take a look at the Windows installation instructions.
To run the BOINC client via the command line, follow these steps:
1. Download the BOINC installation file from the BOINC website and place it into a desired directory.
2. Open a command line window and change to the directory where you downloaded the BOINC installation file.
3. Make the installation file executable:
chmod 700 boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
4. Install BOINC:
./boinc_5.8.15_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh
5. # Change directory so that you are in the directory created by BOINC during installation.
cd BOINC
6. You now need to register your BOINC client with the project. This is called attaching to the project. You do this by running the following command (all on one line):
./boinc -attach_project
