  ===== (K|X)Ubuntu =====
+ 
+ Crossfire is available in all (K|X)Ubuntu distributions (warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, edgy and feisty) and found in the **universe** section; the exceptions being that the crossfire-client-gtk2 client is only available for the edgy and feisty distribution and the no longer maintained crossfire-maps-small (aka small world) package is only available for the dapper, edgy and feisty distribution.
+ 
+ ==== Installation ====
  The easiest way to install Crossfire on [[wp>Ubuntu]] is to use the (K|X)Ubuntu package system and repository.  The version there may lag somewhat behind the latest release, but it will be tested for (K|X)Ubuntu and automatically install any needed dependencies.  (To stay current with the latest development version, see the [[http://crossfire.real-time.com/svn/index.html|Crossfire SVN page]].)
  
- FIXME - More information for (K|X)Ubuntu
+ === Server ===
+ 
+ The server installation command is the following:
+ 
+   $ apt-get update;apt-get install crossfire-server crossfire-maps
+ 
+ Note: you may need to use the sudo command to install these packages
+ 
+   $ sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install crossfire-server crossfire-maps
+ 
+ This will install the Crossfire server (crossfire-server) and the current map set (crossfire-maps)
+ 
+ If necessary, you can stop, start or restart the crossfire server via the following commands, respectively:
+ 
+   $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server stop
+ 
+   $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server start
+ 
+   $ /etc/init.d/crossfire-server restart
+ 
+ Again, adding sudo to those commands may be necessary. For example:
+ 
+   $ sudo /etc/init.d/crossfire-server restart
+ 
+ === Client ===
+ 
+ Installation of the client has a similar syntax. You’ll need to chose which client you want to install, or if you install any (or all of) the three - which one you’ll actually use for game play.  You'll likely need to use the sudo command as well to install these packages.
+ 
+   $ apt-get install crossfire-client
+ 
+ (Note: crossfire-client-x11 and crossfire-client are both the same client, just two different names)
+ 
+   $ apt-get install crossfire-client-gtk
+ 
+   $ apt-get install crossfire-client-gtk2
+ 
+ To launch the client, hit alt+f2 and then enter any of the following (shown in bold text):
+ 
+   * For crossfire-client or crossfire-client-x11 client: cfclient
+   * For crossfire-client-gtk: gcfclient
+   * For crossfire-client-gtk2: gcfclient2
  
+ (Minor Note: gcfclient stands for **G**TK **C**rossfire **client**)
