Greetings,
After reading the documentation, i wasn't sure if it'll work well under linux, so i decided to give it a try. Since maybe someone can benefit from my experience, thought that i'd post the procedure here. It's quite simple (i'm not exactly a linux guru), and it's tested and (it seems) fully functional in my Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala):
1) Install wine from synaptic.
2) Open terminal, and insert this lines one by one to install winetricks, .NET 2.0, and the fake iExplorer:
> wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
> sh winetricks corefonts dotnet20
> sh winetricks fakeie6
3) Install AGS. Should run sweet. (I didn't have any major problem)
First time I tried, i got some problems installing AGS on wine 1.2 (the new beta), then i removed it all and tried again on the stable version (which is marked like "wine" in synaptic), installed dotnet, installed AGS without a single problem, and then upgraded wine from the regular version to the 1.2. Works like a charm.
Hope this is useful to anywone willing to create adventure games under linux.
