I came new to this project because I thought could be interesting to have as much as different confs and computers... I read the front page, then this thread...
Sorry, but it's one of the funniest I read in my life...
Anyway glad to be here.
Is it mandatory to have latest Boinc?
Better have Windows or Linux?
I don't care about credit. But I'm thinking if is it worth put my fastest computer here?
I am running BOINC 6.10.58 on my Linux box with SuSE 111. I tried to upgrade it to 6.12.34 and it would not even start due to some missing libraries for the BOINC Manager. But I am using it on 7 BOINC projects, including Test4Theory@home which makes use of a BOINC_VM virtual machine based on Virtual Box. So it is not necessary to have the latest BOINC, at least for now.

This is how I understand it, too.

No, but it helps when you run into problems or to avoid running into such. 7.0.25 was just released as a new stable version. This is a good start. When running also on your GPU, just have the recent drivers installed. Or, maybe better, challenge the project with old drivers and complain when the error message is not informative - or even missing.

Whatever you run during the day. Mostly Linux here.

It have ~5% of my resources assigned to Albert. This you can configure through the respective project's account pages of yours. This way the developers are helped with regular uploads without myself being too redundant. Most goes to the sister project Einstein@Home, hoping to have that soon get the OpenCL app that Albert already has.
