It depends on your distro but whichever package manager you use, you
should be able to simply search for "boost". Typically, the "boost-dev"
or "boost-devel" package will give you the header files so you can
compile your own code using boost.

On Fedora FC7, yum lists the following:
   boost
   boost-devel
   boost-devel-static
   boost-doc
The "boost" package installs the following:
/usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_iostreams.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_prg_exec_monitor.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_program_options.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_python.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_python.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_regex.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_serialization.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_serialization.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_test_exec_monitor.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_thread.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_unit_test_framework.so.2
/usr/lib/libboost_wserialization.so.1.33.1
/usr/lib/libboost_wserialization.so.2

On Ubuntu 7.1 (Gutsy Gibbon) aptitude lists:
   boost-build
   libboost-date-time-dev
   libboost-date-time1.34.1

   libboost-dev
