So you want to run UO under linux do you? Where here is a simple tut on how to get started.

First you will need to install 'PlayOnLinux' so go here and get the flavor of choice.

http://www.playonlinux.com/

once installed, look in the menu under games for PlayOnLinux. Launch the program and click 'Install'. At the bottom you will see 'Install a non-listed program'. click that.

next go throught the wizard.

Step 1 'Install a program in a new virtual drive'
Step 2 'Name the VD' "ultimaonline"
Step 3 click the ticker beside 'Install some libraries'.
Step 4 Install the following libs
[list:177ba48335]POL_Function_FontsSmoothRGB
POL_Install_dinput
POL_Install_directx9
POL_Install_dotnet11
POL_Install_dotnet20
POL_Install_ie6
POL_Install_vbrun6
POL_Install_tahoma
POL_Install_vcrun2005
POL_Install_wininet
POL_Install_msxml3[/list]
Step 5 browse for the file to install 'Install Ultima Online'
Step 6 select a exe for a shortcut and name it 'Select UOPatch.exe'
Step 7 'no more shortcuts' and click next and done.
Step 8 Click Install in the POL menu again
Step 9 Click on 'Install a non-listed program'
Step 10 'Edit an existing Application'
Step 11 'select 'Show virtual drives' and choose your UO VD.
Step 12 dont select anything on the before installation menu and click next.
Step 13 Browse to Razer_latest.exe
Step 14 select the Razor exe for the shortcut
Step 15 'no more shortcuts' and click next and done.

dbl click the razor icon on your desktop, go setup razor with the server info and whamo, your playing UO on AOV from Ubuntu Linux.

[*]side note: Wine version 1.2.3 works the best for Razor and the client. The positioning tool flickers abit but not bad. AND.. you will need to run the Patcher prior to actually connecting.

I will packup a new version of the installer and post it in a few days.

Hope these directions are concise enough. If not I will add images to the steps :D
