I'm sure you're completely unaware of this, but BYOND is only used for hosting purposes on linux systems. You can not play games with it unless you use wine.

If you're interested in installing on linux, open up a terminal and do the following:

mkdir BYOND
cd BYOND
wget http://www.byond.com/download/build/493/493.1116_byond_linux.zip
unzip 493.1116_byond_linux.zip
cd byond
make here
cd bin
byondsetup
wget http://www.byond.com/download/build/gcc/libstdc++.so.5
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/BYOND/byond/bin


Once again though, you can't play games with it. So you most likely will have no use for it at all.

You can run Dream Maker and Dream Seeker on a Linux platform provided you use WINE to execute BYOND as a windows program.

In response to Deathguard (#3)
You can compile any BYOND game using Linux you just don't have a GUI to do it.

I heard of some people making a Java based compiler don't know how that is going though.
