Just going to give a little update to you on how beta 1 and linux are working. Umm.... it seems to be working fine. A bit sluggish and the theme is looking wacky. Let's post a screenshot so you all know. ;) As we all know the mapper doesn't work since it's the same as zMUD's (Well I personally couldn't get the mapper to work)

Ok... give me 5 minutes SuSE crashed again...

/me boots it back up

ta, menus are really sluggish which is annoying and creating and switching windows is also very very very sluggish but that might be because of me running it within vmware, I'll report back once my linux box is actualy working.

Awesome, I was going to ask this question because I'm thinking about making my mud/www/email PC a linux box instead of a windows box :) The mapper will probably start working when he re-does it to use SQL Lite files intead of MDB files, probably the sluggish windows is the theme stuff and/or vmware, what happens if you set it to use no theme?

Very cool indeed :)

Didn't get a chance to test that yet Rainchild, I'm about to reformat my main computer (Been running an old copy of windows xp for awhile now) to Gentoo, I'll be able to give you all more info once I get that far (I only use SuSE as a test enviroment when testing apps in wine :P not the best distro but it's quick)

VMWARE always runs a bit slugishly but your problem is you dont have vmware tools installed and thats specifically what its for.

That will help you some. You select install vmware tools from the VMWARE menu and then

Close all X sessions, and from the shell change directories to where you extracted the tarball to (vmware-tools-distrib).

I'm with edb on that one. As far as I remember the tools do some drivers tweaks especially with the video and mouse.

Oh, scrap the vmware junk... that's never been anything but a headache in my experience. I'll be trying the install on a Linux system using Wine and I'll let you all know how that turns out.

While I wouldnt "scrap the vmware junk" since it works quite well. I wouldnt call cmud running in windows under vmware on linux, "CMud on Linux", cos it's not, it's on Windows ;)

Take another look at his picture you'll see that a windows version of vmware is running suse linux.

CMUD also "works" in Wine. There is a few very annoying layout issues though, but it does run. I actually tested the new client on Linux first time I ran it. Got pretty surprised when title bars were missing, and wondered what odd client Zugg had made :P.

It depends on what distro, what wine, etc you are running. Using the latest, I could get it to install, get it to start, but the second you connect, no text is processed. I havent spent all that much time or effort on it in linux due to having a linux client, but thats just me :)
