Very nice job on the Linux client, I'm testing it on all my machines right now. A few problems I've noticed:

1. Input partially works
  1. WASD movement doesnt work
  2. Shortcut keys (eg CTRL+I) dont appear to work.
2. Shiny and Ripple water are disabled in the options?
3. In windowed mode, the client wont allow the window to be resized? (KDE3.4)

However, the rest of it has proven pretty stable, and speedy (emphasis on speedy.).

I remember when it was just a pie in the sky!

I think I asked you about it too, Adam.

Ahhh the day has come... and I don't even use Linux but may want to someday. :)

Check the Known Issues sticky, it mentions not all the keys work yet, as well as the not being able to resize the window. You can, however, edit your settings.ini and specify a window size and it'll work until they get that fixed up. And graphics detection is 'short circuited' according to Don. Lots of bug reports tonight and Don's been very responsive about following up on them and getting them on the todo list. All in all: Yay!
