Well I managed to get BYOND to work on Ubuntu after some visits to the Ubuntu forums, some reading at the BYOND Linux Guild, and a load of helpfulness from A.T.H.K, but this feat is not without, dare a say, serious flaws.

For instance, some games on BYOND(coincidently the two I play) have icons that appear in the text area. Such as when a player talks and it shows his icon by his name. Well, when this happens dream seeker gets a wierd pop-up error message and from that point on you can't see anything else in the text area and the map freezes. I know that I'm still able to move because after hitting the keys a few times I relog to see that my posistion is diffrent. This has been a major set back.

I also have another problem. When I sign in on BYOND I get this WINE Gecko Installer Popup. When I hit install I get abunch of fixme messages on the terminal and well.. it doesn't install. I think it may only be required for the news portion of the BYOND client.

So while this bumpy trip to Linux has been difficult, I still hold hopes that I will be able to ditch Microsoft as my main OS. Perhaps down the road there will be a fix for these problems and perhaps I will learn alot when I take my Unix class. Until then, Micro$uck.
