Hi there!

I'm using Debian Linux on my PCs, and Obsidian Shard / Ultima Online is a Windows application/game.

So I've tried to run the game via Wine, and guess what, it's working very good.
Of course it uses more hardware resources than playing it native on Windows, but, I've used it on a netbook (Atom N450 1.6Ghz, 1GB DDR2, Intel GMA on board Graphics) with no problems.

Bugs:
- Some times when I log out the game, the in-game screen keeps on background while the log in window is on top, but that does not affect the usage of the log in window.
- Sound on Wine conflicts with other applications, so, I've gotta choose, or Obsidian sounds, or music for example, of course this a Wine configuration problem, no exactly an particular Obsidian problem, but still cant make it works both well.
- Some times crashes starting, but, really minor times, like when I've closed it and open it practically instantly.
- Haven't tested any UO assistant application yet.

I've tested it with wine 1.1 on my desktop and 1.3 on my net-book and it worked fine on both versions.
I'm using it without an Wine desktop emulation, that means that can be like a normal window on the desktop.
I've set up the sound with Alsa to make it work.

So if you use Linux, you can play Obsidian too (with Wine at least).

Hope this help somebody.
Greetings!
