Greetings 

I recently learned about your game via my home forums (computers, politics, etc.) and I must say that I am quite intrigued. 

I've been a gamer for many years now but WoW has got me going all 

I think that WoW is too good for it's own good.  (attracts all sorts of undesirables) .  Anyways I am excited to try PS because the story is honestly quite original and I really like the fact that it's free (no pressure to feel like I need to get my subscription fee out of it, plus I believe it is less likely to encounter "industrial farmers").

Enough about that.   

My question is:  I recently downloaded the v. 1.x.18 client and installed.  Although I understand that v. 1.x.19 client will soon be released will I have to uninstall 18 and intsall 19 OR can I use the update patcher as the new client is released?

Also, I am a Linux user (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn) and I had to run installation twice because the first attempt placed executor restrictions on the desktop icons.  The second install I opted to not install the desktop icons but currently am only able to access the game client via the patch module.  Is there a way to install the desktop icons which do not require root permission to execute?

Thanks all!
