Good to hear, from what i know coming from Epoch on linux the devs there used python i believe to mimick the inidb for database writes, not sure if that helps yah much at all i have some decent experience with mysql / php and some limited python / perl experience not sure if i could help or not but id be glad to try :)

:( this is very sad as a very large number of game servers are hosted on linux... Ours included, any idea when linux support will be made available.
