I just decided the other day to try and install Digsby through Wine on my Ubuntu install. I wasn't having much luck with the default Ubuntu version of Wine, which is pretty old to say the least. I did a google search to see if I could find newer .deb files and ran across this http://www.winehq.org/download/deb which shows how to setup apt to pull from the latest builds on the site.

Now running the updated 1.1.25 version of wine, Digsby installed without a problem. I started it up, logged in and now its running just fine. The only issue I've noticed at all with Digsby under Wine is the fact that the text input box in chats seems to wrap text after a few words. Its annoying when writing a long reply to someone, but nothing more than just annoying. It doesn't cause any problems or crash anything, so its just an annoyance at this point.

Hopefully this helps someone with Digsby under Linux. I love using it as my IM client, but I can't wait until they get their Linux version going.
