Hi, i'm at present compiling the client from CVS, mainly because i'm crazy and enjoy spending all weekend compiling dependent libs and upgrading my Zenwalk Distro as well.

I'll edit this once i get everything compiled, but as of now it runs fine on winXP, I expect the same if not better from Linux.
Edit: Ok so that didn't go so well, I soon realised i needed to downgrade the NV drivers, since they were too new for my chipset, which meant i needed to upgrade my kernel, and the kernel sources, which meant I forgot to check if the new kernel supported EXT3FS, which it didn't, i'll reinstall, perhaps another, more forgiving distro, anyone else dread 'Kernel Panic'? Oh and 3GB isn't really enough room for a 'serious' Linux installation
