  ==== 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]].)
