EHM Online and Linux

Post by B. Stinson »

Does anyone have any experience with EHM online via Ubuntu 9.10? I can confirm that EHM 2005 does work, but I can't say if that includes online play.

Just curious, 'cause I've been thinking about possibly making a return to EHM online now that I've got the time... but I'm also now on Linux, which may be a new dog in the system (but hopefully not ;) ) I'd also be on Windows Live/MSN via Empathy, but that appears to be working fine with all my old DMNHL contacts still there.

It "should" there's no reason it wouldn't that I can come up with. I know it works cross platform with Mac, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, it definitely works. You'll find that it loads faster and is more stable under Linux via WINE than in Windows itself. I was a member of two online leagues using Ubuntu 8.04 and recently using 9.10, and I've never had a problem. The only problem I ever had was that Pidgin was unstable and I don't think Empathy allows you to add people to league chats. Otherwise, the online game is as good or better in Ubuntu than in Windows.
