Well, I know it's a windows program, but BeerSmith works great in Ubuntu Linux....all you need to do is install Wine. Wine, for those of you guys who don't use Linux is a program that allows you to run Windows-only programs on Linux. I'm pretty stoked, and it was an easy install:
1. Go to the System Menu -> Administration -> Click on Synaptic Package Manager
2. Click the search button, and type "wine" in the box and hit the Search button
3. Check the box next to "wine" (note: not wine-dev, or anything else)
4. Answer yes to all following questions
5. Allow the Wine installation to complete.
6. Download the BeerSmith program, and choose Wine as the program to open it with.
7. Allow the BeerSmith program to install
8. Run the BeerSmith program!
Now, there is a bit of configuration you can do with Wine to make it look nicer, but I was able to run BeerSmith without any messing with it. Cool!
