Linux is for total nerds. I mean imagine all the trouble just to set-up DC on Linux. It would take HOURS compared to just... uhm... well... about 10 minutes if you do it on an MS box.
I know you're 31337 but save yourself some trouble.
I highly recommend the dcgui link off of the link puck gave you. It'll take you to the page for dcgui-qt which is what I use under fedora core 2 to connect to the loveline hub. It works great for me.
