This isn't really about programming but this is probably the most approprite forum.
Just got MT4 up and running in Ubuntu Linux! I'm too paranoid using windows these days with the numerous trojans/hackers/backdoors/rootkits and after wasting about 2 hours installing XP Again (!) because of AVG which is the worst antivirus software ever I finally got too pissed off with it all.
If anyone wants to know heres a quick how-to:
1. Install wine (sudo apt-get install wine), or install it from synaptic package manager
2. Copy MFC42.dll from c:\windows\system32 from your windows pc onto /home/(your username)/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32
3. grab your MT4 installer from your broker
4. Open a terminal and type "wine mt4installer.exe"
5. Once its installed you can run it anytime by opening a terminal and typing
Don't forget the inverted commas!
