MU Online on Linux is easy, this guide is for Ubuntu Edgy 6.10, but you can easily play on any distro.​

Things we are going to install:
- WINE (To run the .exe's)
- IEs4Linux (Internet Explorer and TTF for WINE)
- MU Online (Duh!)

When the download is complete, load up terminal and change directory to where you downloaded and simply type in:

wine <programfilename>

For example:

Do all the default options, easiest way is to install to C:\mu

STEP 4: Patching
Download the patch for the server, especially the launcher. Extract over the client.

STEP 5: Playing
In terminal, type in (one line at a time):

cd ~
cd .wine/drive_c/mu
wine launcher.exe

Then the launcher should load, click connect. You can now play MU! Great job!
