Hey! How's everyone?

I wasn't on for the last weeks and a half because my computer basically crashed... :cry:

After hours of trying to repair it, I never was able to install Windows back on it (maybe is that a plus?... :mrgreen: ) so I installed Linux with Ubuntu...

Can anyone make me a guide on how to install the UO client under Linux/Ubuntu?? 8)

I saw on some forums that i needed some patch and some other things... but I'm pretty new with Linux!! But don't worry, just explain me what to do or were to look to install the game properly...

I'm good with ''computers terms'', so don't be shy to say the good words!! :geek:

Thank you everyone!! I really want to come play with you again... Cya soon!! :dance

open a terminal

you@your-box-name:~# sudo apt-get install wine
say yes to the installer
you@your-box-name:~# cd Downloads
you@your-box-name:~# wget http://h97.micromainframe.com/uoml_excelsior_3c.exe
you@your-box-name:~# wine uoml_excelsior_3c.exe

then you can be lazy and dbl click on the client on your desktop. If you need help with razor pm me, that one is a bit more difficult.
