I just thought I'd post my experiences of running MUSHclient on linux, under Wine.
Linux: Kubuntu 2.6.10-5-386.
Wine: 20050310.
MUSHclient: 3.65.
It works, pretty well.. go Wine people.
It works far better than in the screenshots in another thread, either Kubuntu provides, or wine is more intellegent at picking, sensible fonts. There are still a few visual corruptions, but in general, the interface looks a lot better.
The /wine switch appears to make absolutely no difference.
The only thing that's noticably (irritably) broken is scrolling. When incomming text moves stuff up the screen it's fine, but when Is croll with either the mouse wheel or the scroll-bar, the window becomes majorly garbled (outside of the lines that are been drawn). At a guess, wine isn't clearing the whole line as the new text is being drawn.
I know that making MUSH run under linux isn't your primary concern (as it shouldn't be), but would it be easy to make mush clear the entire line before it draws the text (if only with /wine.. I guess it doesn't because a) it's not necessary and b) it's not optimal, speed-wise)?
I can do some screenshots if that'd help my rubish explanation :)
As an aside, I'd recommend kubuntu for playing around with linux. Not sure what the live-cd is like, though.. if you have an old hard-disk, it's well worth playing with.
Faux.
