Getting BOINC installed on Linux shouldn't be a problem:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_on_Linux

After that you need to get the QCN client loaded into BOINC using the 
command line tool:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Boinccmd_tool

Its been awhile but I think you would just need to:
boinccmd --project_attach http://qcn.stanford.edu/sensor/ <your_account_key>

Where the key is listed under your QCN account profile page.
BOINC will handle downloading the client and running it for you.
