Ok i've been struggling for ages here, just switched over.
Someone with linux experience to this working for me
I know it's possible through wine, but I read it has memory Limitations.

Most common error is that it says Icedtea 1.3 is out to date, and crashes.

I think I just used windows Java though wine, can't remember though, it was a lot of trial and error. As for the out of date thing, try running

apt-get update [YourNonUpdatedThing]

^Just from memory, might not work.

Aah hmm k :) Will try it.
Peppermint is more userfriendly as Lubuntu hehe

Hmm, I've never used peppermint and what I posted might only work for _Ubuntu type linuxes. You could probably google the command for your OS

E: I never could get the official client to work, I had to play through SMART even when I wanted to legit :p

On Lubuntu when I was using scar, the graphics were awful and the screen kept resizing. Didn't search for fixes though.
But I guess in your case it works fine?

It lagged horribly (5 fps), but I think that was because of the laptop. It was built in 03, had 500mb ram 1.1 ghz processor, and heated up dangerously whenever it was turned on. Although I did use it regularly until I dropped it.

I did get smart & simba working on it though, it was just too slow to bot on. You know how srl compiles in a few hundred milliseconds? On that it took 30 000 milliseconds.

lol , well got rs working using a client, but in overall, rs doesn't work really well with linux. For me atleast :)
And simba runs really bad . Might switch over to TinyXP or smthing.

no lag here.
Mouse constant flickers, graphics bit messed up. Can't get any script working as well :) (which is the most important part hehe)

Edit: just installed tinyxp = also lightweight!, now I gotta get my wifi sorted out though grr. (I suck at this too much)

That's really weird, you should have gone with xubuntu :p

I tried xp on my old laptop too but the drivers were messed up on xp. Worked fine for xubuntu though.
