For debian, you can install boost using this simple command

        apt-get install libboost-dev

(include libboost-python-dev, libboost-regex-dev, etc if you
require other compiled libs)

If you're using "stable" or "testing" and want boost 1.31, it's
more complicated but you can build from the debian sources.  Put
the following line in /etc/apt/sources.list

        deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian unstable main

then run
        apt-get update 
        fakeroot apt-get source --build boost
