Anyone here tried this?
Works but sometimes the fonts in the lobby are illegible but if I restart a few times, they look fine.
Also crashes sporadically, did it tonight when I had Queens full of Aces......

Ubuntu 10.10 on a old laptop here, so have not upgraded. I use FPDB for a HUD, but as I'm in the US, doesn't really mean much with play money. I do as Fozzy said in the HEM thread, XP in a VM running Carbon and HEM1.

I have it working on Ubuntu 12.12 with whatever the current repo version of wine is. Fonts are all messed up, but software seems pretty stable.

Merge Revolution and some others.
Getting money on/off is the problem....

Works like a charm for me, only minor issue is the messy/ugly font.

I've noticed something about the font issue, btw: if you've run a Wine process previously, so the Wine server daemon is already running when you fire up the FTP client, the font will look much worse than if you start "clean" (ie FTP is the first Wine thing you run).

Forcing the Wine daemon to close before starting up the FTP sw makes this problem go away, so I usually do a

$ wineserver -k

before firing up the client.
