Yes. Any version. See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Installing_BOINC_on_Ubuntu, after you've installed BOINC and attached to Seti, it should pick up the Linux application automatically.

If you mean Lunatics' Unified Installer - AFAIK there is only for Windows

You can try:

Linux Seti@Home apps

arkayn Linux Packages

Executable versions of BOINC and SETI@home for various platforms

I believe BOINC is included in the Ubuntu repositories, so you should be able to install it through Synaptic.

That said, the version that was in the repositories as of about a month ago still does not handle user detection correctly, so I can't recommend running BOINC on Ubuntu.
