Comment 5 for bug 118916

I am just another user, but would second the call for version 5.10. Sciencewise, the new Cosmology@Home project requires 5.8 or newer.

Cosmology@Home is still a relatively minor project, but at least there is one project that needs the higher version (for some reason or another). However, I strongly appreciate the effort that you have made to bring boinc to debian and ubuntu. Your work has made boinc much easier to use for the masses of people. Even though I had successfully followed a howto in order to make it run automatically on a machine or two, your project makes it work cleanly and was easy to install on all the machines at my clinic and home. I don't know if the p2-300 music jukebox has many cycles to contribute, but at least it gets a last chance at computing glory =).
