I run BOINC on my Centos 5 Linux server and it cannot run some projects because the 5 libraries are too old.  I also am not very good at command line Linux and need a GUI :)

Hi Giles,

No, unfortunately it doesn't. This is purely a kernel update/replacement.

If you want to run software that requires later versions of libs such as 
glibc then you really need to be looking at a newer distro that provides 
these out of the box. Perhaps el6 meets your requirements?
